Biography
Wales was the daughter of Scottish artist James Wales. Wales appears to have travelled with her father to India in the 1790s, either to Poona or Bombay, before she was married.[1] On 17 September 1799 she married Sir Charles Malet, whom her father had met while working in India.[2] The couple had eight sons and lived at Wilbury House, Wiltshire.[2]
Wales is credited to a portrait of Sir Alexander Malet and his wife Marian Malet, posed in Wilbury House.[3]
Engraver Charles Heath used one of Wale's original drawings to create 'The Conclusion of the Cheetah Hunt at Cambay,' which appeared in James Forbes (artist) Oriental Memoirs.[4]

gollark: Why do you have a table of key codes?
gollark: I do program a lot of the stuff I use myself, but I can write much more useful code if I *can* use, well, crypto libraries and stuff.
gollark: For example: cryptography and maths; lots of graphics stuff; useful stuff I don't want to copy paste into every program; encoding/decoding sometimes.
gollark: Sometimes I don't want to write my own code to handle some complex task.
gollark: There are 85 million "app stores" but none of them have everything or even most things.
