Description: Sophia Charlotte, daughter of William Digby (priest) and niece of Henry Digby, 1st Earl Digby, married Sir John Sheffield (c. 1743 - 1815) in 1784. This portrait of her was probably made to celebrate the marriage as Sophia's wedding ring is prominently placed. It was shown to the public in Thomas Gainsborough's studio at Schomberg House, London, in 1786.
