At the time, she was the devoted wife of Sir Samuel Romilly, a renowned English lawyer and reformer.

In this portrait, Lady Anne's expressive eyes and serene expression convey a deep sense of wisdom, compassion, and strength. Her presence in the painting serves as a testament to her enduring influence on her husband's work and their shared commitment to social and legal reforms.
