Barbara Slingsby, Lady Talbot

school of Sir Peter Lely (Soest 1618 – London 1680). Oil painting on canvas, Barbara Slingsby, Lady Talbot, school of Sir Peter Lely (Soest 1618 – London 1680). A three-quarter-length portrait of the wife of Sir John Talbot, standing, facing, in a landscape, leaning over a pedastal and wearing a blue cloak (pigment discoloured) and brown dress over a white shift. Daughter of Sir Henry Slingsby Bt (1602 – 1658), whose portrait hangs in the South Gallery (P/51), and second wife of Sir John Talbot (1630 – 1714), whom she married in 1660. She bore him two sons and three daughters, but the inheritance skipped a generation, when her long-lived husband outlived his heir, Sharington (1656 - 1685), and Lacock passed to John Ivory Talbot (?1691 – 1772), the issue of her daughter Anne (1665 – 1720) and Sir John Ivory (1655 – 95).
