Introduction:
A profile which exists in the National Portrait Gallery is the only example of this artist’s work. Because it is copied from an original done by the Proctor of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, the extant copy on display was for many years erroneously ascribed. It is now known that this profile of Sir William Wynne was painted by Mrs. Creswell, married to one Richard Henry Creswell. Aside from this profile, nothing is known of her life or silhouette work.
