A Portrait of Maria Teresa Gage, Lady Craufurd, with notes on other portraits of her family
By Georgina Craufurd, Lady Craufurd of Kilbirnie
Amongst the Gage family’s portraits in Firle Place’s extensive painting collection is a striking late 18th /early 19th century portrait of Maria Teresa Gage, probably by the emigrée French artist, Sophie de Tott, who exhibited a portrait of ‘Lady Crawford’ (sic) at the Royal Academy in 1803.
