Artist Biography

Sophia Katherine Charleton (1789-1844) was a British botanical artist active in the early 19th century. She was the daughter of Thomas Remnant Charleton (1756-1849), an accomplished watercolourist. Though few records of her life and work survive, Sophia contributed several delicate and detailed botanical studies to a family album that included works by both her and her father. Painting and drawing were considered appropriate pastimes for women of 'polite' society during the 18th and 19th centuries, and Charleton's work exemplifies this tradition.
