The sitter and thence by descent to the present owner
While an old label identifies the present portrait as the Rev. Richard Eaton Monins, who was of an earlier generation, an article by Jean Winn, published in 2000 by the Ringwould History Society, identifies him as the Rev. John Monins, rector of Ringwould (who died in 1853).
