Both George Rae and James Leathart were significant patrons of Arthur Hughes who painted two family portraits of Maria Leathart and her children; Mrs Leathart and her Three Children, 1863-5 (Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle) and A Christmas Carol at Bracken Dene, 1878-9 (Private Collection). This sitter for this head study was probably the artist's wife, Tryphena Ford, and a comparable work of the same sitter wearing bluebells entwined around her wrist, In the Grass, circa 1864-5, is in the collection of Sheffield City Art Gallery.
