专家说明

This necklace has always been revered as a Bathurst family heirloom and as such was depicted in both Thomas Gainsborough’s painting of Tryphena, Countess Bathurst (d. 1807) and Sir James Jebusa Shannon’s painting of Lilias, Countess Bathurst (1871-1965) (illustrated, lot 127 in the collection sale).
