• Illustration — Village Scene (1817) by Jessica Landseer Born, according to her own statement, on 29 January 1810, Jessica Landseer was the daughter of Jane Potts and John Landseer. Between 1816 and 1866 she exhibited ten pictures at the Royal Academy, seven at the British Institution, and six at the Suffolk Street Gallery. She also etched plates after her brother Edwin—Vixen, a Scottish Terrier (also engraved by her brother Thomas Landseer); and Lady Louisa Russell feeding a Donkey (1826). It was at the Society of Female Artists, almost exclusively, that Jessica Landseer exhibited after 1863. Her brother, whom she had nursed, died in 1873, leaving her a substantial legacy, and she moved to Kensington Park Gardens, with a carriage. Jessica Landseer did not marry. She died at Folkestone on 29 August 1880. She left money to animal charities.
