Delt notat | "This portrait of Ann Roydhouse, the wife of John Roydhouse, a prosperous merchant based in St Martin in the Fields, most likely dates from the period between 1686 and 1693, when the artist was working in London. Little is known about the sitter, but the depiction of her beauty so readily captured in Medina's work is certain to have been admired by John Smith, who chose to engrave her portrait."
