AFTER SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE, P.R.A.
Lady Georgiana North (died 1835) and Lady Susan North (1797-1884)
Lady Georgiana North was the third daughter of the 3rd Earl of Guilford. Lawrence's unfinished painting of Georgiana alongside her sister, Susan, later Baroness North, was sold from the North collection at Wroxton Abbey, Warwickshire, around 1907, at which time it was replaced with the present copy (loc. cit.).

The canvas appears to be unlined. The paint is stable on the support. Under natural light, the varnish is clear and the paint surface appears to be intact. Under ultraviolet light, a few lines of retouching fluoresce on the hair of the figure at left, along with a 1 inch square on the edge of her proper left sleeve. The painting is in ready to display condition.
