This portrait of Mrs. Baker by an unidentified artist is one of a set of eight portraits of family members painted in London in the 1670s. The naturalistic painting shows the pouches under her eyes, loose jowls, and prominent nose. Mrs. Baker exemplifies middle-class prosperity, both in her dress and her accoutrements.
