 Levina Teerlinc
Levina was born in 1520 in Bruges (in modern-day Belgium).
She was so well known as a miniaturist by that time that she was invited to the court of Henry VIII in England where many miniaturists were employed to meet the high demands for this popular art form.
She remained in court as a miniaturist for three successive monarchs - Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. Teerlinc was paid more for her miniatures than the noted painter Hans Holbein received for his court portraits and she received a lifetime yearly stipend of forty pounds in comparison to Holbein's thirty-four pounds.
