Son of the artist Mary Beale, the favorite pupil of Sir Peter Lely, Charles Beale followed in his mother's footsteps and began his artistic training in her studio assisting with the painting of draperies and ovals. Set within a feigned stone oval, a hallmark of Mary Beale's oeuvre, the present portrait once bore an inscription at lower left identifying the sitter as "Mrs. Penruddock".
