Anne Meriel Talbot (1900-1970) and Joan Ankaret Talbot (1901-1986) were the daughters of John Edward Talbot (1870-1937) and Mabel Balfour (1867-1949).
Their grandfather was John Gilbert Talbot PC, a Conservative politician serving under Benjamin Disraeli; and their aunt was the noted British public servant and women’s welfare worker Dame Meriel Lucy Talbot, who organised the Women’s Land Army during the First World War.
Around the time of the creation of this portrait, the Talbot’s are recorded as living in Chelsea. Anne is later documented as having emigrated to New York City after the Second World War, whilst Joan married Eric Hyde Villiers DSO in Ireland in December 1928.
