Esther Inglis (/ˈɛstər ˈɪŋɡlz/ EST-er ING-gəlz or /ˈɛstər ˈɪŋlz/ EST-er ING-əlz) (1571–1624) was a skilled member of the artisan class, as well as a miniaturist, who possessed several skills in areas such as calligraphy, writing, and embroidering. She was born in 1571 in either London[1] or in Dieppe[2] and was later relocated to Scotland, where she was later raised and married. Sharing similarities with Jane Segar, Inglis always signed her work and frequently included self-portraits of herself in the act of writing.[3] However, unlike Jane Segar, Inglis successfully established a career based on manuscript books created for royal patrons.[4] Over the course of her life, Inglis composed around sixty miniature books that display her calligraphic skill with paintings, portraits, and embroidered covers. She mostly dedicated her books to the monarchs, Elizabeth I and James VI and I, and people in power during their reign.[3] She died around 1624, at the age of 53.
