注意事项
Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country.
拍场告示
It has been suggested that the sitter may be Susanna Hoare (1732-1783), Countess of Ailesbury based on comparison with a portrait of her by William Hoare of Bath. We are indebted to Sally Goodsir at the Royal Collection for this suggestion.
