A full-length portrait of a woman, turned to the left gazing at the spectator, seated on the stump of a tree in a woodland setting, her left leg crossed over her right, her right elbow resting on her knee. A gap in the trees on the left, reveals a distant hill. She married Henry Case, bachelor rector of Ladbroke, Warwickshire in 1793, having been the wife of George Morewood of Alfreton Hall, Derbyshire (d.1792). He took the name of Morewood but predeceased her without children. She left the house and its contents to her sister's children, the Palmers, who also assumed the name of Morewood.
