Portrait of Catherine Talbot in Catherine Talbot Article.

edit

From the appearance of other images of Catherine Talbot, her social status during her youth, and her reticence when it came to involvement in the public sphere, I have my doubts that the Christian Friedrich Zincke miniature attached to the 'Catherine Talbot' article actually represents her. There is no detail given on the image apart from artist, so I am unable to trace who exactly is being represented, but I doubt that it is in fact Talbot, if it is would it be possible for Mr Arkesteijn to provide some more information on the picture, and if not then may I ask that it be taken down, as it is misleading and presents a false image of Talbot's status, by implying that in her youth she was circulating in the kind of fashionable circles that would have been a prerequisite to sitting for such a portrait — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.106.137 (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
