专家说明

In 1967 Daphne Foskett saw this portrait and she suggested the sitter may be John Smart’s daughter, Anna-Maria Woolf (1766-1836). Based on the apparent age of the sitter and date of execution, it is more likely to be a child of Anna-Maria (1766-1836) and Robert Woolf (1755-1836). Smart produced a few depictions of his grandchildren including a watercolour of Master Robert Woolf (1786-1796), in 1796, and portraits of Anna Sophia Woolf, Elizabeth Ann Woolf and Maria Woolf.
