Description: Portrait of Mary Fox (1850-1878) (later Princess Marie of Liechtenstein), adopted daughter of Henry Fox, 4th Baron Holland (1802-1859), of Holland House, Kensington, with her Spanish pointer Elia. In her history of Holland House (Liechtenstein, Princess Marie, Holland House, 2 Vols., London, 1874, p.237[1]) she wrote as follows about this portrait of herself: Mary Fox — an old-fashioned picture of an old-fashioned looking little girl, with a fine Spanish pointer as big as herself, whose name must be mentioned, for auld lang syne, " Elia." "Elia" was a faithful friend and a wise protector. Here he looks on his best behaviour. But he was as good as he looks, except on the sad day when he strayed from home never to return. The canvas of the original picture is 44 inches by 34..
