Portrait of Catherine Talbot in Catherine Talbot Article.[edit]

From the appearance of other images of Catherine Talbot, her social status during her youth, and her reticence when it came to involvement in the public sphere, I have my doubts that the Christian Friedrich Zincke miniature attached to the 'Catherine Talbot' article actually represents her. There is no detail given on the image apart from artist, so I am unable to trace who exactly is being represented, but I doubt that it is in fact Talbot, if it is would it be possible for Mr Arkesteijn to provide some more information on the picture, and if not then may I ask that it be taken down, as it is misleading and presents a false image of Talbot's status, by implying that in her youth she was circulating in the kind of fashionable circles that would have been a prerequisite to sitting for such a portrait — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.106.137 (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
