Summary
Portrait of Charlotte Walpole, 5th Countess of Dysart, 1738-89, head and shoulders portrait of a woman wearing a blue dress with flowers. If the sitter is indeed Charlotte Walpole, then the picture could well have been made to celebrate her marriage in 1760 to Lionel Tollemache, later 5th Earl of Dysart.
