The Hon Emily Charlotte Meynell Ingram (nee Wood) (1840-1904) by Sir Francis Grant (1803-1878), 55½ X 43½ (141 X 110.5)

On their marriage in 1863 Hugo Francis and Emily built their own house at Cross Heyes, Staffordshire, where they lived before inheriting Hoar Cross and Temple Newsam in 1869. His interests were mainly sporting while she was a fine watercolour artist, specialising in landscapes. Many of her albums have survived among her descendants. This portrait was clearly intended as a pendant to that of her husband, also by Sir Francis Grant. A reduced version has recently been acquired for Temple Newsam.
