Portrait of a lady in the artist's studio (Mrs Hayman?)

Francis Hayman (1708 - 1776)

Royal Albert Memorial Museum

circa 1735

This portrait fragment was once part of an early double portrait of the artist, and most probably shows his first wife. It is a remarkable discovery and joins the other section of the composition, the 'Self-portrait' already in the collection of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, which is the earliest identified work by Hayman.
