Lady Diana ne Spencer, was previously married to Frederick St.John, 2nd Visct Bolingbroke of Lydiard Park. Her painted panels were passed down through the St.John family prior to their acquisition by Swindon Corporation in 1965.
The panels are painted on paper on a canvas lining. Four of the nine panels are on public view in the Dressing Room, which would have served as Lady Diana's private boudoir at the time of her marriage to Frederick St.John.
