Specialist note

The sitter was the daughter of Robert, Viscount Jocelyn. She married Arthur Saunders William Charles Fox, Viscount Sudley, later 5th Earl of Arran (1839-1901) in 1865. She died in Basel in 1871, aged 26. This posthumous portrait is thought to have been commissioned by Viscount Sudley in memory of his wife and is probably based on a portrait done before her final illness. She is wearing the family pearls and head ornament.
