She is wearing a black dress with light white lace collar. Her dark hair is tied up with a black ribbon round. She holds a flower in her right hand. She sits in front of a large red curtain. The flower is cut by the edge of the picture and the composition is cramped and therefore may have been reduced form a rectangular canvas. The portrait is framed in a giltwood oval frame. Maria Lane was the daughter of John Lane of Bentley Hall, Staffordshire. She married the Reverend John Hammond Lucy in 1788. This painting is a companion to his portrait NT 533850.
