[Identified in the Silvy daybooks as 'Miss Emily Garnier', the sitter was identified on the album page as 'Mrs Papillon.' A month after this portrait was taken, Miss Emily Garnier married Philip Oxenden Papillon. For his portrait by Silvy see page 14 of this section.]

Baptised on 2 February 1840 at Lewknor in Oxfordshire, Emily Caroline Garnier was the daughter of the Very Reverend Thomas Garnier and his wife, Lady Caroline Elizabeth Keppel, a daughter of the 4th Earl of Albemarle.

At Lincoln Cathedral on 16 September 1862 'Emily, third daughter of the Dean of Lincoln and Lady Caroline Garnier' married 'Philip Oxenden Papillon, MP, of Lexden Manor, Essex.' The ceremony was performed by 'the Very Rev. the Dean of Winchester, grandfather of the bride, assisted by the Hon. and Rev. Edward Keppel, and the Rev. Ashton Oxenden' (Lincolnshire Chronicle, 19 September 1862). 

The couple appear on the 1881 census, living at Manor House, Lexden, Essex. Also present on the night of the census were four of their seven children, a governess and eight servants, including a butler and a groom. Mr Papillon described himself as a 'JP, Alderman & Barrister.' 

Mrs Emily Caroline Papillon died on 12 January 1917 at 8 St Matthew's Gardens, St Leonards-on-Sea. She left an estate valued at £1885.
