Doris H. de Carteret was born in Wandsworth in 1897, the only daughter of Henry C. de Carteret, a Club Secretary, and his wife Elizabeth de Carteret.
The prominent de Carteret family, based primarily in the Channel Islands, had members residing in Wandsworth by the late 19th century, and it is therefore likely that Doris came from a family of means.
She is later recorded as living in Arundel, West Sussex, in the 1930's, at the time that our landscape was painted.
