Susanna (sometimes spelled Susannah) Wales, Lady Malet was a British artist.

Biography

Wales was the daughter of Scottish artist James Wales. She appears to have travelled with her father to India in the 1790s, either to Poona or Bombay, before she was married. On 17 September 1799 she married Sir Charles Malet, whom her father had met while working in India. The couple had eight sons and lived at Wilbury House, Wiltshire.
