Miss Benett
16 November 1861

Volume 5, page 246, sitting number 6480.

[The sitter is identified as 'Miss Benett' in the Silvy daybooks but the National Portrait Gallery has catalogued her as 'Miss Bennett.' The print pasted into the daybooks is an alternative pose showing the sitter holding the cranium of the skull in one hand and the rest of the skull in the other, which she is peering into.]
