| Object history | This miniature is attached to a mid-19th century gilt-metal bracelet. It is one of a group of portraits of the family of Sir William Chambers, R.A., bequeathed to the National Portrait Gallery by Miss E. F. E. Pebardy. Another portrait of the same sitter, is P.18-1958, a pastel by Francis Cotes, and a portrait of the sitter's husband by Engleheart is P.16-1958. It is probable that P.15 and P.16-1958 are the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Innes recorded in Engleheart's sitter-book under the year 1778: according to information provided by the testatrix, the marriage took place on 20 January of that year. |
