for a painting 'Lady Austin'
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 18:17 BST (UK) »
Through out my research one thing that reappears again and again is this painting called 'Lady Austin'.  There is a family legend that there is a link to the lady in this painting.  However I have never seen it but have told of its existence in family legend.  Does anyone know of it?  Can anyone help?

My welsh family insist there was a link to the this Lady Austin, other than bearing the same surname, and my family being welsh miners - I cannot find the painting or think there could be a link!
