Maria Verelst (1680-1744) was supposedly an English artist born in Vienna and died in London after a career of portrait painting. This biography has been questioned with archival evidence supporting the view that “Maria Verelst” was Adriana Verelst (daughter of Herman Verelst), a fashionable portrait painter of the 1720s.
