A portrait of Mary Harvey, aged 24 (c.1620). She is wearing a black dress and hat with a lace collar and cuffs and is holding a prayer book in her right hand.

This portrait is one of a group of members of the family of Dr William Harvey (1578–1657), discoverer of the circulation of the blood. William Harvey had no children, but had six brothers. A family tree of the Harvey family has been published by A. Sakula but this does not include any reference to a 'Mary Harvey' with dates that correlate to those inscribed in this portrait. She is presumably a neice of William Harvey.
