Any internet search will show virtually identical images and treatment especially in the taking of her lace and draperies etc.
The painting is a comfortable size at 15 1/4 x 20 ins. It was lightly cleaned and relined a few years ago when, at the same time, the period frame was re-backed with new timber. There are minor professional restorations showing under UV and it is now in a fine condition for a work of this period. This plus the work's cabinet size makes it an appealing opportunity.
