Possibly a photographic print hand-coloured with watercolour. This object is one of five kept loose in a drawer when the group was housed at the Courtauld Institute of Art. It is unclear which frame the objects were originally in and it has not been possible yet to identify the works in the exhibition booklet.
This was possibly always loose as it seems be in its own velvet lined frame with lid. It could have been described in 1908 as by ‘John Hoskins A Lady’ which was in T. The pose is taken from Van Dyck, and is similar to the portrait of Lady Frances Cranfield, Lady Buckhurst, later Countess of Dorset, in Knole, Kent, National Trust number 129918. This facsimile is possibly a copy after an oil portrait by Van Dyck. The sitter faces her right with a landscape visible through an opening. Wearing a white dress with a blue mantle over her right shoulder, and pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings.
