A half-length portrait of a woman leaning on her left hand, in mourning. The sitter was the daughter of Thomas Wriothesley, 4th and last Earl of Southampton. She first married, probably in 1653, Lord Vaughan, son of the Earl of Carberry, and afterwards William, Lord Russell, second son of William the Earl and 1st Duke of Bedford. During Lord Russell's trial in 1683, Lady Rachel assisted him in open court by taking notes of the evidence and, after his condemnation, afforded him unfailing comfort and support.
