Have you seen this Lady?

This painting was in existence at the Castle in 1928 and was described by the original author of the book in detail. It was inscribed with the name of a Dutch painter and dated 1676., and became inextricably linked with the legend of the famous 'Green Ladye'. For many years it hung outside the room in the Castle where she is supposed to have suffered and died. However, at some point it was sold and left the Castle, but in 1906 it was returned to the then Laird of Fyvie, Lord Leith.

It is alleged that this is a painting of Lilias Drummond, who was the 1st wife of Alexander, First Earl Dunfermline. She gave him 5 daughters but no sons, and the legend goes that she was imprisoned and starved to death. She died in 1601 at Dalgety in Fife.

The painting has simply vanished and no one knows where it went. Despite extensive research I have been unable to trace it. All that is left is this grainy black and white photo of it taken in 1928, and in the original book.
