The sitter's pose and the background rock ledge are close to Hudson's well-known portrait of Mary Panton, Duchess of Ancaster (d. 1793; Grimsthorpe Castle, Ancaster Collection), dated 1757, as well as a portrait of Margaret Oxenden by Hudson's pupil, Joseph Wright of Derby (Sydney, Art Gallery of New South Wales). The present painting probably dates to the second half of the 1750s, when Hudson was in competition with his greatest pupil, Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), for prominent London portrait commissions.

A portrait of similar size by Hudson said to depict William Bayfield was with Agnew's in 1921.
