Lady Theresa Spence née Renard (18 October 1815, Florence - ?) was a British noblewoman whose portrait was included in the famous Gallery of Beauties of the Bavarian King Ludwig I.[1]
Nothing is known about Therese Renard Spence other than her birthday and that Spence is her married name. She was already married at the time of her painting. She was portrayed as Sappho, the Greek lyric poet from the island of Lesbos, she wears the traditional Greek robes and a crown of laurel, and holds a lyre. On the back of the painting, which was made in 1837, it reads: “Theresa Spence née Renard was born in Florence on October 18th, 1815.”
The portrait of Theresa Spence was completed by Joseph Stieler in 1837, at the age of 22.
