Half-length, seated; turned to the left, but facing in front. She
is dressed in black; her right hand rests on the arm of the chair;
she holds a handkerchief on her lap in her left.
This was in Queen Anne's catalogue, No. 331:--"Mrs. Elliott at
half-length." It is a good specimen of a portrait-painter who
flourished in the time of Charles II. and James II., and whose
talents have hardly had justice done them.
Mrs. Elliott was the wife of Mr. Elliott, Gentleman of the
Bedchamber to Charles II., and sister to Secretary Craggs.
