This portrait is identified as Hannah Ludwell Lee by descendants. The relationship between it and the other portrait identified as Hannah Ludwell Lee and attributed to Charles Bridges is unclear.

Hannah Ludwell Lee was the daughter of Philip Ludwell II and Hannah Harrison Ludwell of Greensprings. She married Thomas Lee of Machodoc in 1722.
