Bears printed label on back of stretcher identifying the subject as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson: probably erroneous, but possibly correct in asserting some connection of the portrait with Anderson. The sitter closely resembles a portrait of Isabel Thorne at a later age (Edythe Lutzker, Women gain a place in medicine, 1969, p. 62). Isabel Jane Thorne (1833/4-1910) was one of the "Edinburgh Seven", a group of women who attempted to gain professional qualifications in medicine from the University of Edinburgh, led by Sophia Jex-Blake (1840-1912).
