Susanna Perwich depicted in a pamphlet after her death

Susanna Perwich (c. 1636 – 1661) was an English music teacher and embroiderer. She is known from a pamphlet written by her brother-in-law on the event of her early death, which celebrates her virtues as an example for other young women to follow. Noted in the pamphlet as a skilled embroiderer, she has been proposed as the creator of a seventeenth-century embroidered cabinet now held by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
