Summary
Oil painting on canvas, Ursula Cust, Mrs Richard Newton (1683/4 - 1757), attributed to Michael Dahl (Stockholm 1656/9 - London 1743). A three-quarter-length portrait of a young woman, seated, turned slightly to the right, gazing at the spectator, her left arm leaning on a plinth, brown hair with a tress falling on her right shoulder, wearing a white satin dress, with a loop of pearls at the breast, with a blue wrap over her left shoulder and showing on the seat on the left. The sitter was the daughter of Sir Pury Cust (1655 - 1698/9) and Ursula Woodcock (1659 - 1683/4). She married, in around 1722, Richard Newton (d.1737) who was the Treasurer of the Middle Temple.
