This portrait is believed to have been painted by the Kilkenny artist John Comerford who later went onto become a noted painter of portrait miniatures.
Elizabeth 'Bess' Woulfe was the daughter of Walter Woulfe of Rathgormack and Carrick, Waterford. In 1785 she married John Mansfield of Ballinamultinagh and Yeomanstown, Kildare. His great grandfather Richard married Dorothea Hore of Shandon House, Dungarvan, and he was present at the Battle of the Boyne.
The painting used to hang in the hall at Morristown Lattin, Kildare, the home of the Mansfield family. It will be on display in the museum shortly.
