Lady Louisa Greville

Lady Louisa Augusta Greville (14 April 1743 – August 1779) was an English engraver.

Family
Lady Louisa Greville was born in London and was the eldest surviving child of Elizabeth Greville and Francis Greville. In 1770, she married William Churchill of Henbury, Dorset.

Artist and Engraver
She became a remarkably proficient and talented engraver, a medium which was increasingly popular amongst women during the eighteenth century. Other members of Louisa's family also practised in watercolours, pencil, pen and engraving, including her brothers and sisters. Most of her surviving artworks are engravings after examples by Annibale Carracci, Salvator Rosa, Marco Ricci, Guercino among others. She also produced prints of her father's home Warwick Castle, several examples of which survive in the Richard Bull Album kept at The British Museum. The Royal Society of Arts awarded her prizes for her engravings in 1758, 1759 and 1760. No dated works after her marriage in 1770 are known. She was buried on 11 August 1779.
