  • General note

    Attributed to Lafayette Ltd. by comparison with related portrait of Mabel Lillingston, signed 'Lafayette 1905' (ML 1171). This portrait was probably painted while Mabel and Charles were living in London between 1903-1906 during Jessie's schooling at Wycombe Abbey, Buckinghamshire. Lafayette Ltd. was a large portrait studio in New Bond Street, London, specialising in photography. They also produced painted portraits.
