ATTRIBUTED TO HUGH CARTER (1837-1903)
PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG LADY
Standing in a woodland clearing, three quarter length, wearing an ivory satin dress with lavender lace and a black shawl, holding a hat, with monogram HC (entwined) and dated indistinctly 187.., indistinctly inscribed on a fragmented label on the stretcher, oil on canvas
140 x 99cm.
* It is possible that the name on the worn label reads `de Grey`. It has been suggested that this may be a portrait of Augusta Selina Elizabeth (nee Locke), who married Thomas de Grey, Baron Walsingham, in March 1877 following the dissolution of her marriage to Luigi Caracciolo, Duc de Santo Teodoro in November 1876
