    Dear Terence, These two girls are the daughters of George Townshend, who was the 1st Marquess (1724-1807) and his second wife, Anne Montgomery. Lady Anne married Harrington Hudson of Bessingby Hall, Yorkshire in 1795 and Lady Charlotte married Sir George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds in 1797. Sorry for the delay in our reply and we hope this information helps. Best wishes. Portrait Miniature Club

    What a wonderful collection … I just realised today what an intimate atmosphere a miniature can create. All these people who are death for centuries looking at us … from a period shortly before photography emerges … preciously … and made to connect emotionally with the displayed … I am really touched

    Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your lovely comments. When we connect with art in this way, it has the wonderful uplifting effect ...what art should do and be.
