A portrait of the daughter of General Hugh Warburton (1695–1771) of Winnington Hall, Cheshire, Anne Susannah was joint-heiress to the Penrhyn estate through her grandmother, the daughter of Sir Robert Williams. In 1765 she married Richard Pennant, later Lord Penrhyn, who leased and in 1785 eventually purchased the other half of the Penrhyn estate. She was somewhat eccentric on the subject of animals, and according to Alice Douglas-Pennant, the author of the picture catalogue of 1902, `[she] used to dress up her pet dogs in little coats and bonnets and people used to say "Look at the Miss Pennants" when she had them in the carriage.' Anne Susannah's costume reveals the influence of French foreign affairs on English women's fashions in the early nineteenth century.
