About Henrietta Hamilton
Henrietta Martha, Lady Hamilton (1780–1857) was born in Stanmore, Middlesex, England, and was the wife of Sir Charles Hamilton, Governor of Newfoundland. She is best known for her miniature portrait entitled Mary March. The painting is a watercolour on ivory of a Beothuk Indigenous woman Demasduit, and is considered by many to be the only representation of a Beothuk taken from life. It was painted in 1819 at St. John's where she lived with her husband during his term as governor from 1818 to 1824.
