She was trained by her father. Anna Claypoole Peale and her sister, Sarah Miriam Peale, assisted their father with fabric painting of shawls. Anna Claypoole Peale painted miniatures in Baltimore, where she had a studio from 1822-7, as well as in Philadelphia, Washington, New York and Boston. From 1815 until 1840 she was working primarily in Baltimore and Philadelphia. She married twice during her life, first to a popular preacher and then to General William Duncan.
