(pdated, May 2014) Oval miniature in watercolour on card of Mrs Henry Leete, in an oval gilded window mount set in a rectangular black backing board within a partly gilded plain maple picture frame. It is one of a similarly mounted pair, the other showing the Revd Henry Leete, the sitter's husband (MNT0107), though the images are probably themselves not a pair. In this case, unlike the other, the sitter is shown facing entirely to her right, in profile and almost in monochrome, though this may be due to pigment fading. She wears a high-waisted pale gown with sleeves, bearing a bow on the upper left arm. Her hair is tightly gathered on her head with a small headdress of flowers, behind a transverse parting and curls coming forward over her forehead. She also wears plain earrings and what is probably a pink-coral bead necklace. All we currently know of the Leetes is that from 1845 they were connected by marriage with the family of Captain Harry Harmood, whose granddaughter Eliza Harmood married Thomas Troughton Leete in that year. The costume of the present items makes it more probable that they show either the parents or other contemporary relatives of Thomas, not a later generation. They came into the Museum with a miniature of Harry Harmood (MNT0123) and other items bequeathed by Arthur (or Robert) Shute Leete in October 1947.
