Born in 1779, Catherine was the daughter of the 5th Duke of Rutland and Lady Elizabeth Howard. In 1802, she married Cecil Forester, who later became the first Baron Forester. The fashionable turban that Catherine wears in this portrait was a popular accessory for women during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
