A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Pearson, Margaret
PEARSON, MARGARET,
Was an English lady, daughter of Samuel Patterson, an eminent book-auctioneer. She early manifested a taste for the fine arts; and on marrying Mr. Pearson, a painter on glass, she devoted herself to that branch of the art, in which she attained peculiar excellence. Among other fine specimens of her skill were two sets of the cartoons of Raphael, one of which was purchased by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the other by Sir Gregory Page Turner. She died in 1823.
