PLATE V.—THE HON. MRS. GRAHAM
This portrait of the Hon. Mary Graham (second daughter of Charles, ninth Lord Cathcart) is in the National Gallery of Scotland. Another portrait of the same lady shown in the dress of a housemaid, standing in a doorway with a broom, is supposed to be a rejected design for this picture, and is in the collection of the Earl of Carlisle. Her husband afterwards became Lord Lynedoch.
This picture was painted in 1775-1776, was locked up in a London store for fifty years, but fortunately recovered.
