George John Scott Warrender (at 519) and Lady Maud Warrender (at 520) were also present.[8]

  • "Lady Maud Warrender wore a very handsome white satin dress embroidered in gold, with a long coat and three-cornered hat and enriched with a multiplicity of diamond buttons."[9]:p. 5, Col. 1

Lafayette's portrait of "Lady Ethel Maud Warrender (née Ashley-Cooper) as Duchesse de Lauzun, La Grande Mademoiselle" in costume is photogravure #269 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[10] The printing on the portrait says, "Lady Maud Warrender as Duchesse de Lauzun La Grande Mademoiselle," with a Long S in Duchesse.[11]

Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier (1627-1693), known as the Grande Mademoiselle, fell in love once in her life, with Antoine Nompar de Caumont, Duke of Lauzun, but she was not permitted to marry him.[12]

The portrait (right) of Anne, Duchess of Montpensier, the Grande Mademoiselle, was painted in c. 1652 by Charles and Henri Beaubrun and is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orleans.[13] It shows the Duchess dressed in armor, which is as close as any portraits of the Duchess of Montpensier get to the non-gender-binary costume worn by Lady Maud Warrender in her portrait.
