Lot Essay

Lady Maria Hamilton was the third daughter of John, 1st Marquess of Aberhorn, and Catherine Copley. Kenneth Garlick, upon firsthand inspection, believed this work to be a contemporary replica of Lawrence's 1802 Portrait of Lady Hamilton in the collection of the Duke of Abercorn (written communication, 2 May 1993).
