'Lady Mary Cassel'

Volume 1, page 59, sitting number 441.

[This portrait does not appear in the Silvy books. There can, however, be no doubt that it is the portrait that ought to accompany the entry for sitting 441 in Volume 1. The following sitting, a portrait of Augustus Sussex Milbank, shows the same curtain and pedestal in the background, with every fold and wrinkle in the curtain corresponding in every detail with the folds and wrinkles seen here.]

[Although the entry in the daybooks shows no portrait, a name was entered for the sitting. However, further identification is problematic, since I can find no one with the name and title 'Lady Mary Cassel.']
