Eliza Pulleine (1769-1788) was the youngest daughter of Henry Pulleine (1734-1803), of Carleton Hall, Yorkshire. Carleton was purchased by Henry Pulleine's grandfather, Thomas, master of the stud to King William III and High Sheriff of Yorkshire, in around 1700. The house no longer exists, but it seems that it was near the village of Stanwick, North Yorkshire, as several members of the family were buried in the church there. The later seat of the Pulleine family was Crakehall Hall, near Bedale, North Yorkshire, about fifteen miles south of Stanwick. Eliza died unmarried, aged 19 and the present portrait, executed the year before her death,depicts her as a stylish, elegant young woman, wearing a fashionable dress and elaborate hat, before an extensive landscape, probably referring to her family's great estates.
