The sitter's brother Tom was a school friend of the poet S. T. Coleridge, who fell deeply in love with Mary Evans (1770–1843), after staying with her family in London during his first vacation from Cambridge at Christmas 1791. Unable to declare himself, in the summer of 1794 he 'turned sick and all but fainted away' at a glimpse of her leaving church in Wrexham, where she was visiting her grandmother.
