Hunter met her in Lower Largo, Fife, where she was on holiday with her husband. Family legend tells of the couple spotting 'a slightly odd man' across the dining room, looking at Jane through a frame made with his forefinger and thumb. When they spoke to Hunter, he asked them if Jane would sit for him. It is believed that this was drawn in Hunter's studio in Dumbarton Road, Glasgow.ProvenanceThe sitter, thence by decent.
