The subject of this enigmatic portrait is likely Constance, a daughter of the sculptor who created it. A relief known as the "Constance" medallion was exhibited by her father at the Royal Academy in 1872, having been in the Westmacott family since its creation and donated to the museum by the artist's daughter. James Sherwood Westmacott (1823-1900) was a skilled sculptor from the renowned Westmacott dynasty, active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, who crafted several reliefs in this distinctive style. As the son of sculptor Henry Westmacott, he is known for his notable works, including a "Victory" statue at Dresden and statues of "Peri" and "Alfred the Great".
