專家說明

The sitter was the daughter of JosephTownsend, Honington Hall, Warwickshire. She married John Tempest, M.P., son of John Tempest of Wynyard and Frances Shuttleworth. Their only child, John Wharton Tempest (1772–1793), predeceased them as a result of a riding accident, which meant that the estates were devolved to John Tempest's sister's son, Henry Vane, on condition that he assume the names and arms of Tempest. Henry Vane's daughter married Lord Charles Stewart (later Marquess of Londonderry).
