Miss Jenny Cameron Of Lochiel. one of the most numerous Clans of Scotland. If to her Share, some female Errors fall, [/] Look on her Face, and you'll forget them all.
Le Clare pinx. Johnson fecit.
[n.d., c.1750.]
Mezzotint. 325 x 230mm (12¾ x 9"), with large margins. Slight tear in centre.
Three-quarter portrait of a pretty young woman in low-cut dress, powdered wig and tartan shawl, holding a mask. The wife of Archibald Cameron of Lochiel (the last Jacobite to be executed, 1753), she came to London to try and stop his execution, gaining some sympathy, and was probably the 'Jenny Cameron' who visited the exiled Old Pretender in Rome and petitioned him for a pension in the late 1750s. She is often confused with Jenny Cameron of Glendessary (c.1700-72) who was rumoured to have raised a troop of men in support of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, fighting with them, and being the mistress of the Young Pretender.
Sharp 358, conflating the two Jenny Camerons. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.
