By 1760, she was working as an assistant to the artist Allan Ramsay, producing copies and reproductions of works by Old Masters. She received a commission to paint portraits of Dr. James Mounsey, a physician in the Russian court, and his cousin Dr. Messenger Mounsey. The latter picture, a three-quarters length portrait, survives and is held by the Royal College of Physicians in London. For many years the painting was attributed to her father. In 1768, Black exhibited four portraits with the Society of Artists and went on to become an honorary member of the society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as painting portraits, Black taught painting to members of a number of fashionable, aristocratic families. Financial success allowed her to live independently while maintaining a household with servants and a carriage. She never married and died suddenly at home in London in 1814.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"black-mary-c1737-1814-messenger-mounsey-1764","title":"Black, Mary (c1737-1814) - Messenger Mounsey 1764","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by English woman artist Mary Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 3228 pixels wide by 4020 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/black-mary\" title=\"Mary Black\"\u003eMary Black\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53685034320202,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Black_Mary_c1737-1814_-MessengerMounsey1764_main.jpg?v=1767152530"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Black_Mary_c1737-1814-7377720.jpg?v=1767152410","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/black-mary.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
