Life

Portrait of a lady

Joan Palmer was a daughter of court clerk William Palmer, who worked in the Royal Parks in London . She married the courtier and poet Lodowick Carlell (died 1675) in 1626 , and they had six children, two of whom were still alive after 1644. In contrast to her husband Carlell, she is called Carlile. They lived in Petersham Lodge and, in the meantime, in Covent Garden . From 1665 they lived in London. When she died in 1679, she was living in the parish of St Martin-in-the-Fields . She was buried in her husband's grave in the churchyard of St Peter's Church, Petersham.

Carlile copied and miniaturized paintings by Italian painters. She portrayed a number of contemporaries. Her painting was in the favor of King Charles II , from whom she received a generous amount of ultramarine as recognition and incentive . The painting of the hunt in Richmond Park is believed to be an early example of a conversation piece in a landscape.
