Miss Keppel (d.1821) was the natural daughter of Admiral Augustus Keppel (1725–1786), who was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and created Viscount Keppel in 1782. She married Captain Thomas Meyrick in 1787. This portrait, completed in 1782, was probably commissioned at the same time as one of her father (Tate Britain), who was a friend of the artist. Fifteen appointments for Miss Keppel are recorded in Reynolds's sitter books between 22 May and 12 December 1782. The portrait cost 50 guineas.
