This is a portrait of Ann Austen, nee Grey, three-quarter-length seated in a landscape with her dog. Painted in a superb white satin dress, she holds horn spectacles and a spectacle case (there are references in the family papers to trouble that she had with her eyes). A spaniel presses his head against her crinoline; no doubt it was his kennel which was still in the attic at Dean Street in 1758 when the inventory of her possessions were taken.
Ann was the daughter of William and Ann Grey of Backworth: born on the 30 August 1713, she married Captain Robert Austen in 1748. Ann was brought up at the home of her uncle, Richard Gifford in Poland Street in Soho, until his death in 1739, when she moved to nearby Dean Street, where she continued to live after her marriage until her death in 1753.
The Country Life article compares the composition of Jane's portrait to Gainsborough's celebrated portrait of Mrs Robinson in the Wallace Collection, 'even to the train of convolvulus in the background.'

Arthur David McCormick (1860–1943) was a notable British illustrator and painter, renowned for his landscapes, historical scenes, naval subjects, and genre scenes. Born in Coleraine, County Londonderry, he pursued his education at the Royal College of Art in London from 1883 to 1886.
McCormick’s career was marked by his contributions to various illustrated magazines, including the English Illustrated Magazine and the Illustrated London News. He participated in significant expeditions, such as Sir Martin Conway’s journey to the Karakoram Himalayas in 1892 and Clinton T. Dent’s expedition to the Caucasus Mountains in 1895. His illustrations from these travels were featured in Conway’s book “Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram-Himalayas” (1894) and his own publication “An Artist in the Himalayas” (1895).
Throughout his career, McCormick illustrated nearly thirty books, focusing on travel and adventure themes. Some of his notable works include illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tales of Mystery and Imagination” (1905) and Henry Newbolt’s “Drake’s Drum and Other Songs of the Sea” (1914). He was also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1889 to 1938.
