Béarn and the Pyrenees

Louisa Stuart Costello was born in Sussex, the daughter of Captain James Francis Costello (d. 1814/15) and Elizabeth Costello, née Tothridge (d. 1846). After her father's death, she moved with her mother to Paris where she began painting miniatures to help support her family, returning to London in 1820 where she continued this occupation with some success. She was also a poet; her book The Maid of the Cyprus Isle (1815) was followed by three more including her translations from the French, Specimens of the Early Poetry of France (1835). Wikipedia
