The Life of Rhoda Delaval
Rhoda Delaval was an English aristocrat and artist born on 1 July 1725 to Captain Francis Blake Delaval and Rhoda Apreece. As the eldest daughter of twelve children, she grew up in a prominent family; her brother, Sir Francis Blake Delaval the younger, was born two years after her birth.

Following the birth of her son Francis, she died in 1757 and was buried at a church near the manor in Widcombe, Bath.
