attributed to Charles d'Agar (Paris 1669 – London 1723). Oil painting on canvas, Possibly Anne Talbot, Lady Ivory (1665-1720), attributed to Charles d'Agar (1699-1723), circa 1720-1730. A half-length portrait of a woman in a landscape, wearing a blue dress and a red cloak, her left arm resting on a marble table over which a gold curtain is draped. Anne Ivory was the daughter of Sir John Talbot (1630 – 1714), and his second wife, Barbara Slingbsy. She married Sir John Ivory (1655-95), of New Ross, County Wexford. Their son, John Ivory Talbot (?1691 – 1772) inherited the house and estate directly from his grandfather. D’Agar was a Parisian artist, who settled in London, who painted in the style of Michael Dahl. It seems probable that he also painted portraits of her daughter, Barbara, and her son-in-law, Henry Davenport, which are also at Lacock. Lacock, Wiltshire
