Thank you both for the clarification. I have had little chance to research
Georgian and Regency so only have a vague sense of whats what.

1718-1746? No way! This makes no sense at all in the early 1700s! A
century later, maybe. Look at her diadem, the teardrop pearls, the
bracelets on her upper arms, the white and gold gathered underdress with
red overdress (typical Regency colours), the short, curly hair and the
high waistline! No way it's anything other than, oh... 1800-1810 maybe?
The artist is said to be a follower of Elizabeth Vigee-Lebrun who was
painting in the late 18th and early 19th century, which confirms the
painting date as being early 19th century in all likelihood.
