A head-and-shoulders oval painted portrait of the daughter of the 2nd Earl of Portmore, and sister of William Colyear, Viscount Milsington, later 3rd Earl of Portmore (1745-1823), face upturned. She is turned slightly to the left, head turned back over her proper left shoulder, looking right; wearing white dress with lace fichu, and a salmon-pink cloak over her shoulders, with a gauze scarf in her black hair; brown eyes. She married Henry Dawkins in 1759. George Hay Dawkins-Pennant was their second son.
