Mary White suggests that this charming lady may represent Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and Spring. A similar example, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (inv. no.64.101.614a,b), is illustrated by Yvonne Hackenbroch, Chelsea and Other English Porcelain, Pottery and Enamel in The Irwin Untermyer Collection, 1957, pl.71, fig.166.
