Possible Portrait of Lady Torphichen

Portrait of Anne, daughter of Lord Elphinstone (later Lady Torphichen) by Henry Tilson. Description: 17th century oil on canvas in Victorian gilt frame. The sitter depicted in a feigned oval.The portrait bears a 19th c. inscription wrongly identifying the sitter as Anna, daughter of John, 11th Lord Elphinstone; on stylistic grounds (clothes, style of painting etc) this is clearly incorrect. It seems likely that the sitter is Anne, daughter of Alexander, 6th Lord Elphinstone. Anne married Walter Sandilands, 6th Lord Torphichen on 11 April 1671. Selling Antiques
