Mrs Mond was the sister of the artist Sigismund Goetze. Her husband was the cousin of Alfred, 1st Lord Melchett, financier, industrialist, and politician who became the first chairman of ICI. Philpot also painted a formal portrait of her in 1910 (see R. Gibson, loc. cit.), which owes a pronounced debt to Velasquez and was favourably compared to the work of his contemporaries, Sargent and Shannon. The Mond family were significant patrons of Philpot.
