Description
English: Portrait of Thomas Weld, later Cardinal Weld (1773-1837) and his daughter Mary Lucy, later Lady Clifford of Chudleigh (1799-1831). Miniature portrait.

Thomas Weld, a Roman Catholic of great piety and charitableness, married Lucy Bridget second daughter of Thomas Clifford of Chudleigh in 1796. She died in 1815. On the marriage of his daughter Thomas renounced worldly wealth and was ordained a Priest and thereafter lived aboard. He was appointed Bishop of Amycla in 1826 and Cardinal in 1830.

His daughter Mary, married her cousin Hugh Charles Clifford, later 7th Lord Clifford, in 1818. It is presumed that the young couple travelled to Paris in 1819 to visit Mary’s father, who was then living in France, and he commissioned Augustin to paint this miniature. Mary died in 1831 and was buried in the Church of St. Marchello from which her father took his title as Cardinal.
