NOTES:
[1] The provenance given here is based on research published in David Mannings, Sir Joshua Reynolds: A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings (Yale University Press, 2000), p. 192, cat. no. 630. On June 10, 1775, Reynolds recorded a payment made to him by “Lord Ossory, for Lady Ann Fitzpatrick.” See Malcolm Cormack, “The Ledgers of Sir Joshua Reynolds,” Walpole Society 42 (1970): 160. Lord Ossory lent the painting -- a portrait of his daughter, Anne -- to the British Institution in 1813, no. 121. [2] Lady Lyvden lent the painting to the British Institution in 1844. It had probably passed to her through her half-sister, the sitter Anne Fitzpatrick, who died in 1841.
