The portraitist John Hayter (1800-1895) was the son of the miniaturist Charles Hayter, and the brother of the artist Sir George Hayter. John Hayter entered the Royal Academy schools in 1815 and began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in the same year, becoming established as an artist in the 1820s. His portrait drawings were particularly popular.
This sheet of informal, intimate studies represents John and George's sister Ann, herself a miniature painter. It was made during a period between 1822 and 1827 when Ann and John lived together in Upper Grafton Street, London. It appears to show her working at an embroidery frame.
