Literary references
Letitia Elizabeth Landon produced the poem Portrait of a Girl, in the British Gallery, by T. Stewardson[3] as part of her Poetical Catalogue of Pictures in the Literary gazette, 1823. This is probably Stewardson's Portrait of a Girl (traditionally identified as Lady Catherine Powlett, Countess of Darlington). She also includes a poem on 
A Child Screening a Dove from a Hawk.[4] in her Poetical Sketches of Modern Pictures within her 1825 collection, The Troubadour.
