The sitter is thought to be Lady Anne Livingstone, daughter of James Livingstone, 5th Earl of Linlithgow, and Margaret, daughter of John Hay, 12th Earl of Erroll. On 15 June 1724, she married William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock, who was beheaded in 1746. She was the mother of James Boyd who due to the death of his maternal aunt, Mary, Countess of Errol, became Earl of Erroll in 1758.
