Ensayo del lote

The sitter married Samuel Van der Wall in 1744. Her son, or perhaps daughter, was painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, circa 1746 (see D. Mannings, Sir Joshua Reynolds, A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, New Haven and London, 2000, I, no. 1785, II, fig. 27).
The latter portrait was sold at Sotheby's. by Commander C.E. Neate, on 3 July 1956.
