Portrait of Lady William Cavendish-Bentinck. Ellen Sharples (British, 1769-1849). Pastel.Charles Grenville describes Lady Cavendish-Bentinck as ‘overflowing with affections, sympathies and kindness, not only perfectly unselfish, but with a scrupulous fear, carried to exaggeration, of trespassing upon the ease or convenience of others…She was gentle and cheerful, and without being clever, was one of those people everyone likes.’ -- source link
