Description
Rhoda Apreece (d. 1759), the sitter in the present portrait, married Captain Francis Blake Delaval in 1724. A version of this portrait, also attributed to Pond, but quite possibly attributable to Enoch Seeman, is at Seaton Delaval,1 and is dated c.1735. The present composition is also copied in the portrait of Susanna Delaval, née Robinson, in the Long Gallery at Doddington (DN86). In the late nineteenth century, when mentioned by Cole, the portrait hung in the Drawing Room, on the ‘south part of the eastern wall’.
