A recent analysis of the tartan sett in the original portrait identifies it as Murray of Tullibardine. The lady is believed to be Jenny Cameron, daughter of Cameron of Locheil and alleged mistress of Bonnie Prince Charlie, though there are other contenders. As with other portraits of this time, several symbols are encoded into the painting illustrating support for the Jacobite cause. The most obvious symbol is the white rose of York. This symbol first gained political relevance in the War of the Roses where it distinguished the York supporters from the Lancasters who flaunted their red rose. The white cockade, as shown below on Bonnie Prince Charles, was worn by Jacobite supporters along with their blue bonnets. The rose (bud) in her cap often symbolized the exiled King James (rose) with the buds being his heirs, Charles and Henry.
