The portrait is part of the extensive collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London by Samuel Woodburn in 1815. The portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of the 17th century aristocracy. Letitia, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, dons an intricately designed dress adorned with lace and pearls.

Letitia Morison was the wife of Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland. The portrait was created to commemorate her passing in 1646. The inscription "Obit 1646" at the bottom of the portrait serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life, even for those of the highest rank.
