Mary Brewer (née Jenkins, 1796 or 1797) is perhaps most recognized as a painter of miniatures, having exhibited works at the Royal Academy from 1848 to 1853 (with an address recorded at 4 John Street, Worcester). The 1851 census records Brewer, age 54 (?), as a widowed head of household, "miniature painter & photographist," in the Worcester parish of St John Bedwardine.
