Provenance
As there is no photograph of the Hon. Everilda Agar-Robartes, this frame could possibly have belonged to her. It would have then come to the National Trust on her death in 1969. The Hon. Gerald Agar-Robartes, 7th Viscount Clifden, gave Lanhydrock to the National Trust in 1953 and continued to live there with his sisters, Everilda and Violet, until his death in 1966.
