Digital surrogate of Portrait of Talbot's mother, Lady Elisabeth Feilding, seated in an armchair
Link to digital surrogate

Portrait of Talbot's mother, Lady Elisabeth Feilding, seated in an armchair and wearing a bonnet. Although this portrait was taken out of doors, an attempt has been made to make it look as if the sitter is indoors with the use of a backdrop and the rug under the armchair.

On the verso, written in pencil, is "Lady E. Fielding" [a misspelling of the surname].

This is the only known print of the image.
