Mary Ann Xantippe "Tip" Saunders (1838–1922) was an American portrait painter and art teacher.
She studied art under Cornelius Pering, and became friends with his daughter Cornelia Pering, also an artist. In New York, she studied under Lemuel Wilmarth and in the studio of Joseph Oriel Eaton.[1] She and Cornelia Pering started the Pering and Saunders Art School in Louisville, which they ran from the 1890s until World War I.[2]
Saunders was a cousin of Mark Twain, and painted a famous portrait of him in 1873.[3]
