Anne Kingsmill was born in April 1661 (an exact date is not known) in Sydmonton, Hampshire. Throughout her life, Anne was involved in several Court cases that dragged on for years.

This meditation on artistic creativity was written during the latter months of 1815, during a sojourn on the border of Windsor Forest.
