The present lot is presumably a portrait of Mary Chetwynd, Viscountess Blundell (see lot 128), great-grandmother of Mary, Marchioness of Downshire. It is interesting to note that the painting bears a close resemblance to a portrait of Lady Elizabeth Egerton, née Churchill, Countess of Bridgewater (1687-1714), by Charles Jervas, sold at Christie's, London, 19 November 1982, lot 82. Despite the inscription on the reverse attributing the painting to Michael Dahl (1656/9-1743), it appears to be closer to the work of Jervas, and was described by Sir Oliver Millar as a 'Jervas type' of c.1720 (op. cit., p. 27).
