This portrait was likely painted in 1828, the year Sarah Elizabeth Beresford married Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot, Viscount Ingestre. She holds a rose to her breast, an attribute that traditionally conveys virtue and purity. The balustrade and terrace place the young bride in a handsome setting befitting her aristocratic union. The frame, with its white-washed garlands and fruit, is consistent with the interior decoration of Ingestre Hall, the manor house owned by the Chetwynd family.
