Abstract: "Head of an old woman in profile to the left, tilted upwards. She wears a cap which conceals her hair. ... She is evidently the Betty of the famous fruit shop in St. James's Street, the 'patriot Betty' of Mason's 'Heroic Epistle', 1773. 'Betty's' was a fashionable 'lounge' and centre of gossip, often mentioned by H. Walpole and others. She was Elizabeth Munro or Neale, 1730-97, called 'the Queen of apple-women' by the 'Gentleman's Magazine' (obituary)."--British Museum online catalogue.
