THE SITTER HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE ELIZABETH FELTON (1677-1741), DAUGHTER AND CO-HEIR OF SIR THOMAS FELTON, BT., OF PLAYFORD, SUFFOLK, WHO MARRIED JOHN HERVEY, 1ST EARL OF BRISTOL, IN 1695. HOWEVER, IN STYLISTIC TERMS THE PORTRAIT WOULD APPEAR TO BE DATABLE TO THE 1720S WHICH RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL IDENTIFICATION AS SHE WOULD THEN HAVE BEEN IN HER FORTIES.
