The sitter was the daughter of Wilson Lowry an engraver and founding member of the Geological Society and Rebecca Delvalle (1761-1848). The sitter (like both her father and mother) became an authority on geology and in 1822 published Conversations on Mineralogy. In 1825 Delvalle married the artist John Varley (1772-1842) as his second wife who had been a friend of her father since 1802. She went onto publish Rudimentary Treatise on Mineralogy.
