Oil painting on canvas, Miss Stopford, in the manner of George Romney (Dalton-in-Furness 1734 – Kendal 1802), circa 1780. A full-length portrait of a young woman, turned to the left, gazing at the spectator, seated on a stone in a woodland setting, wearing a white dress with pointed frill at neckline, a large brimmed straw hat with a wide blue ribbon. Distant horizon to the left, with cloudy sky. The young woman is thought to have been an ancestor of Winifreda Adye, the first wife of William Watson-Armstrong.

Provenance: Armstrong collection. Transferred by the Treasury to The National Trust in 1977 via the National Land Fund, aided by 3rd Baron Armstrong of Bamburgh and Cragside (1919 – 1987).
