Isabella Wyatt

In this splendid portrait of Isabella Wyatt, Opie adds a lozenge bearing the Wyatt arms viz “Sable (black), a fess dancetty (i.e. zigzag stripe) Argent (silver), between three eagles displayed Or (gold), a chief of the last (i.e., gold)”, clearly indicating that this is before the formal adoption of the combined Wyatt Edgell family name in 1813. Isabella Wyatt was the third daughter of Richard Wyatt, senior, of Egham, (for whom the portrait was painted) and his wife Priscilla Edgell.
