London, Published Oct 1st 1867, by Henry Graves & Co. The Proprietors, Publishers to the Queen, 6 Pall Mall. Painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.R.A. Engraved By Robert Graves A.R.A. "A gorgeous neo-classical portrait by master English portrait painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. The lady carves her husband’s name (Lloyd) into the tree. This was the portrait Lily Bart imitated during the game of tableaux in Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905). It created talk because the painting draws attention to the lady’s lower torso, legs, and bare feet." - Description by Elyse Snow.
