A bust portrait of a man in 18th-century dress is visible on the right knee of the woman with a child in the center background of the left sheet. It is not a likeness of Richard Boyle. Could this be a self-portrait by Jackson?

A trial proof of the key block, center sheet, is in the Rosenwald Collection, National Gallery of Art.
