Question: How do we know this is a picture of Hughes? The title of the piece is "portrait of an unknown woman", and none of the linked articles mention her having a portrait painted in any way...

I mean, I'm fully prepared to believe it, but by the standards of wikipedia we need SOME kind of a source, even if a very shaky one, rather than just some editor silently re-naming a well known picture. 193.63.174.254 (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2017 (UTC)


 * According to Tate Gallery this painting is "Portrait of an Unknown Woman c.1670–5" by Lely. According to Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University this is the painting of Margareth Hughes. Here on Wikipedia that picture is labeled as Frances Bard (c 1646-1708) by Peter Lely. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 17:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
