Anna Maria Mengs was a German painter of the second half of the 18th century. She is known as a painter and graphic artist, famous for her portraits.
Anna Maria Mengs was the daughter of Anton Raphael Mengs, a famous German painter and representative of classicism, from whom she studied painting. In 1777 she married the Spanish engraver Manuel Salvador Carmona and had seven children. Despite family obligations, she continued to paint miniatures and pastels, as contemporaries noted, with talent and exquisite taste. In 1793, a year after her death, her work was exhibited at the Accademia de San Fernando in Madrid.
