专家说明

This painting relates to a portrait of Mary Bagot in the Royal Collection (RCIN 404958), one of the Windsor Beauties painted by Sir Peter Lely around 1662-5, probably for Anne Hyde, Duchess of York. The sitter is currently identified as Mary Bagot, Countess of Falmouth and Dorset, but has also previously been called Margaret Brooke, Lady Denham. The latter was the daughter of Penelope Hill with her second husband, Sir William Brooke. Penelope later married Edward Russell (see lot 56).
