Description
English: Elizabeth Brodie, wife of the 5th Duke of Gordon, small full length, wearing a white empire waist dress with a plaid of tartan loosely draped over her head and left shoulder, seated in a park (pr with the 5th Duke of Gordon portrait). The tartan appears to be Black Watch (42nd regiment) [1], as it lacks the bright yellow over-check of the similar 92nd regiment tartan that eventually became the main Gordon clan tartan [2][3]. "Elizabeth Brodie was born in 1794. She was the daughter of Alexander Brodie and Elizabeth Margaret Wemyss. She married General George Gordon, 5th Duke of Gordon, son of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon and Jane Maxwell, on 11 December 1813. She died on 31 January 1864. Her married name became Gordon. As a result of her marriage, Elizabeth Brodie was styled as Duchess of Gordon on 17 June 1827." [Peerage]
