Lady Manners, née Catherine Grey, was the wife of
Sir William Manners, 1st Bart., who, had he survived his mother, would have become 8th
Earl of Dysart. According to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Lady Manners "rejected this portrait representing her as the goddess Juno, symbolized here by the peacock. To make up for the loss of sale, Lawrence exhibited the painting at the Royal Academy in 1794 'to be disposed of.' It did not sell and remained in his collection until after his death."
