Lot Essay

The sitter's pendant displays the heraldic device of 'azure a chevron' between three mullets, the coat-of-arms of the Chetwynd family, influential landowners and churchmen in Staffordshire in the 17th century. The age and unmarried status of the sitter would suggest a most likely identification as Mary Chetwynd, only daughter of Sir Walter Chetwynd of Ingestre, Sheriff of Salop. She later married George Digby of London.
