[1] Apollonia Kickius seems to have stayed in Scotland while her father left Edinburgh to return to England by 1685 and her mother joined him in London in 1687.
[3] In 1685 Kickius signed a receipt for money owing to her father for his painting work at Edinburgh Castle.
[2] Apted and Hannabuss' biographical inventory of painters in Scotland prior to 1700 documents only three women amongst many men: Apollonia Kickius, Esther Inglis and 'Mrs Morris'.
Her tombstone in Longforgan Church (not far from Castle Lyon) notes her skill as a painter and that she was married:[1][6] Interred lyes under this stone The comely virtuous Apollone Kickieus, a rare yea matchless one.
In paintrie strange who shew more skill Than ere Apelles could, yet still, Tho fam'd & prais'd much, most humble.
