1810 (ca.), Sir Henry Raeburn, Justina Camilla Wynne, Mrs Alexander Finlay of Glencorse (1785 - 1814) -- National Gallery of Scotland (Edinburgh)

From the museum label: The fourth daughter of Richard Wynne of Folkingham in Lincolnshire, Justina was descended from an old Welsh family, the Wynnes of Gwydir. In 1810 she married Alexander Finlay of Glencorse, a friend of her brother-in-law the Edinburgh lawyer James Hamilton of Kames. Both Justina and her younger sister Frances, Mrs Hamilton, sat to Raeburn in his York Place studio in 1810/11. Very similar in composition, Frances's full-length portrait is also in the Gallery's collection but displayed at Duff House, Banff.
