Althorp, the ancestral home of the Spencers |
Special thanks to Matt Davies, of Kansas City, a friend of the JSS Gallery, for sending me the image of Sargent's drawing.
In June of 1916 the drawing was exhibited with the the Royal Society of Portrait Painters at the Grafton Galleries which was reviewed in the Daily Mail, 3 June 1916.
This is the same Spencer family of Lady Diana Spencer.
