This portrait is sometimes attributed to Charles Bridges but it bears stylistic similarity to ca. 1740s-1750s portraits by artists like Robert Feke. Mary Armistead married Philip Lightfoot of Sandy Point. She was a daughter of William Armistead.
The subject wears a dark green dress with a jeweled clasp. She is inside a painted oval.
