There is an interesting story behind the artist and sitter, which as an ex guide of Baddesley, i have spent many an afternoon recounting the story . Brief version below
The subject of the painting, Edward Heneage Dering, married the artist in 1885 after a misconstrued marriage proposal in 1859 which led to his first marriage to Rebecca's guardian, Lady Chatterton. Rebecca married Edward Dering's closest friend, Marmion Edward Ferrers and both couples lived at Baddesley Clinton, Ferrers' family home. Lady Chatterton died in 1876 and Ferrers in 1884, at which point Rebecca and Edward were free to marry as they had originally intended. Edward Dering died in 1892.
Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house, about 8 miles (13 km) north-west of the town of Warwick, in the village of Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire, England. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument[1] and the house is a Grade I listed building.[2] The house, park and gardens are owned by the National Trust and open to the public
Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen (1830?-1923)
Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen (1830?-1923) was a 19th-century artist. As she married twice, she is occasionally referred to as Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen Ferrers, Mrs Edward Henege Dering, or Rebecca Dering.
Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen was born either in 1829 or 1830, the historical record is murky as to which, in County Cork, Ireland. She was the daughter of Abraham Edward Orpen and Martha Chatterton She appears to have spent much of her youth with her aunt, Lady Georgiana Chatterton and her husband, Sir William Chatterton, and may have eventually gone to live with them
In 1859, Lady Georgiana married Edward Heneage Dering. It has been suggested that Dering was actually intending to propose to Rebecca but, as a result of a misunderstanding, came to be engaged to Lady Georgiana, who was much older than him. However, that story does not appear to have strong historical substantiation. After the pair wed, Orpen and the couple travelled Europe, sketching and drawing as they went. A great many pieces Rebecca produced during this time are held by the National Trust.
At the age of 37, on 18 July 1867, Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen married Marmion Edward Ferrers of Baddesley Clinton. Two years later, Lady Georgiana and her husband, Edward Heneage Dering, moved in with Rebecca and Marmion at Baddesley Clinton. The foursome, who became known as The Quartet, immersed themselves in the arts and in the restoration of Baddesley Clinton. Their other interests also included novel-writing, music, poetry, and embroidery.
The Quartet were also Catholics, a not-uncommon feature of Baddesley Clinton. The Ferrers family that held the estate had historically been Catholics, and the estate had even been used to shelter Catholics when their presence in England was not legal. The diary of John Henry Newman suggests that Edward Dering, Lady Georgiana, and Rebecca Orpen were received into the Church of Rome in 1865. The Quartet were responsible for the addition of a chapel to the house's first floor, Rebecca providing paintings for it. (In the 1940s, Undine Ferrers, the wife of a distant relative of Marmion, ripped out the shrubbery had added the house, apparently feeling that the dark foliage represented "the dark forces of Catholicism."
The Great Hall, Baddesley Clinton, with Mr and Mrs Marmion Ferrers, Edward Heneage Dering and Lady Chatterton (Mrs Dering) by Rebecca Dulcibella Orpen (1870)
After the foursome had lived together for seven years, Lady Georgiana passed away in 1876 She left Rebecca money in trust. In 1884, Marmion died as well. He left his wife everything that he owned, including the tenancy on Baddesley Clinton until she died. Rebecca Orpen and Edward Dering, the surviving members of the foursome, remained together at Baddesley Clinton; however, because it was not socially acceptable for an unmarried man and woman to live together alone, a local priest came to stay with them for 13 months. 21 September 1885, the two surviving members of the Quartet married
