Further inscribed 'Sir Joshua Reynolds' The frame with a previous owner's label 'The Marquise of Ormonde, 11 Bryanston Square’. The Marquis of Ormonde leased 11 Bryanston Square in 1925. There is an 18th century connection by marriage between the families of the Duke of Rutland and of the Marquis of Ormonde which may well explain the ownership by the Marquis of Ormonde in London in 1925 Dimensions of painting: 17 inches wide, 20.25 inches high.
