Anna Lownes (active 1884-1905) was an American painter of still lifes. Little is known of her life and career.
Lownes was from Pennsylvania, and studied at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and at the Delécluse Academy in Paris. She was a pupil of Milne Ramsey. She exhibited work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and National Academy of Design; from 1885 to 1887 catalogs gave her address as Media, Pennsylvania, but in later years she was said to have moved to 1708 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Two of her paintings were seen at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, one in the Palace of Fine Arts and one in the Woman's Building. A Study of Apples dated to before 1890 was included in the inaugural exhibition of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, American Women Artists 1830-1930, in 1987.[1]
