Catalogue Note
Stylistically this picture must date to the very end of the seventeenth century. This means that the portrait cannot portray Anne Gordon, who married Robert Dundas as his second wife, in 1734. It is possible, however, that the portrait may be of Margaret Sinclair, the wife of Robert Dundas, 2nd Lord Arniston (1658-1726). Robert Dundas was an M.P. for Midlothian 1689-1707, and Lord of Session, 1689-1726.
