专家说明

The sitter was the only daughter of George Temple-Nugent-Grenville, 1st Marquess of Buckingham (1753-1813) and his wife, Mary Nugent, daughter of the 1st Viscount Clare. She converted to Catholicism in 1810 and married James Everard Arundell, 10th Baron Arundell of Wardour (1785-1834) on 26 February 1811. At that time a marriage in England was only considered legal when celebrated by a Protestant clergyman, so their wedding ceremony performed at Stowe, her family seat, had to be repeated the next day in London. Arundell served in a volunteer regiment during the Napoleonic Wars and became an officer in the Wiltshire Yeomanry. He was a scholar and an antiquarian, and contributed several chapters to Sir Richard Colt Hoare's History of Wiltshire. Arundell was admitted to the House of Lords with the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, and subsequently voted against the Great Reform Act, the only Catholic peer to do so.
