Irish School (circa 1720) Portrait believed to be of Frances, Duchess of Tyrconnell (1647-1730), half length, in blue, with gold cloak oil on canvas 73 x 60cm (28 x 23in) Provenance: Monks Hall, Syleham, Suffolk Other Notes: Frances Talbot, Countess of Tyrconnell (née Jennings, circa 1647 – 9th March, 1730) was a prominent figure in the Restoration Court, together with her younger sister, Sarah Jennings, later Duchess of Marlborough. Once a maid of honour to the Duchess of York, Frances was twice widowed and eventually died in poverty. The daughter of Richard Jennings and Frances Thornhurst, Frances was born at Sandridge, Hertfordshire. Her beauty earned her the nickname "La Belle Jennings." Macaulay describes her as “beautiful Fanny Jennings, the loveliest coquette in the brilliant Whitehall of the Restoration." In 1664, Frances was appointed maid of honour to HRH The Duchess of York. Wild and reckless as a girl, Pepys records an incident in which Frances disguised herself as an orange seller, but was eventually recognised by her expensive shoes. Lined canvas. Paint layer raised in the background but generally sound. Heavily restored and badly done - not clear how much original paint lies underneath. Retouching has discoloured in areas. Frame surface is flaking with large areas of loss. Craquelure overall.
