No. 26 Louisa Viscountess Weymouth

In a fancy dress of pink and black. Pearl ornaments. Aigrette in her hair.

Lady Louisa Carteret was the daughter of John Carteret, Earl Granville, by Lady Grace, daughter of John Granville, Earl of Bath.

She married the second Lord Weymouth (as his second wife) in 1733, and had by him two sons—Thomas, who succeeded his father; and Henry, who became Lord Carteret.

The dress in which Lady Weymouth is painted, was worn by her at a fancy ball at the Spanish Ambassador’s, and was so much admired, that she sat for her portrait in the same.
