Portrait of lady, believed to be Elizabeth Muncaster, née Dale, three-quarter-length, in a dress with a pearl clasp and a yellow mantle, flowers in her hair, holding a laurel wreath, before a bust of the Apollo Belvedere

The sitter is believed to be Elizabeth Dale, daughter of a Whitby surgeon. She was born in circa 1742 and adopted by her aunt, Frances Dale, who married Colonel Charles Hervey Smith of Aspley House, Bedfordshire. Elizabeth married a Mr. Muncaster of Wallsend House, Newcastle. The sitter would have been almost a contemporary of the artist.
