The sitter was the daughter of John Drummond, Duke of Melfort, one of James II’s principal councillors in exile in San-Germain-en-Laye and his Secretary of State. Lady Mary was married there in 1710 to the Count of Castelblanco. She died in 1713. It is thought that this is a posthumous portrait, painted to form a pair with that of her husband.
