The Ewing Maclae family of Cathkin were important Glasgow merchants, many of whom were associated with the University of Glasgow. Born Walter Ewing, he inherited the estate of his maternal uncle Walter Maclae (d. 1790) and took his name. He, and later two of his sons, were associated with the slave trade. Humphrey Ewing Maclae (1773- 1860), was recorded by Addison as a West Indian proprietor; and James Ewing (1775-1853), a Glasgow merchant and politician, had estates in Jamaica and both had involvement in the slave trade of the West Indies.

The cameo is identical to that in the National Maritime Museum (JEW0338), there attributed to William Tassie, this in a gilt-metal mount and set in a black frame; the British Museum has a similar but intaglio image (1867,0708.1), in amber glass, set in gold frame with suspension loop attached, for use as a seal and supposed to have been owned by Lord Nelson. A left-facing hardstone cameo with a very similar image

Madame Defly (1785-1875) was the secretary or ‘dame lectrice’ to Princess Mathilde Bonaparte from 1856 to 1870. It was through the well-placed Princess Mathilde (1820-1904 - daughter of Jérôme-Napoléon Bonaparte) that Carpeaux gained entrée to the imperial court and in 1863, the same year as the Madame Defly portrait, Princess Eugénie purchased his statue of the Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille. Whilst Madame Defly herself was a person of no great eminence, the plaque showing her with a ‘knowing’ smile, was to prove to be one of Carpeaux’s most popular creations. Examples can be found in several museums world-wide including the Musée d’Orsay, in terracotta, and the Musée de Valenciennes, a patinated plaster, and in bronze in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. A wax model, connected with the manufacturing process, was sold at Chiswick Auctions, London, 21 March 2018 (lot 83).
