Catalogue Note
This enamel portrait miniature is based on an oil painting by Sir Peter Lely in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, which has traditionally been identified as a portrait of Henrietta Boyle.
Henrietta Boyle was the youngest daughter of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Burlington and his wife Lady Elizabeth Clifford. In 1685, at the age of twenty, she married Lawrence Hyde, who was the second son of the celebrated 1st Earl of Clarendon and who was created Earl of Rochester by Charles II in 1682.
