The Serampore Portrait. Is it Madam Grand?

First edition of a study probing the identity of a portrait then displayed at the Library of the Baptist Mission College at Serampore, India. The portrait in question, attributed to the German neo-classical painter Johann Zoffany who was frequently patronised by British royalty and who had a number of commissions in British India, was often thought to depict the titular ‘Madame Grand’ (Catherine Noël Grand, née Werlee, 1762–1834), the daughter of a French colonial officer in what is now Tamil Nadu, India, and later the mistress of Talleyrand.
