Lucy Guinness

Lucy Madeleine de László de Lombos was an Anglo-Irish socialite, amateur musician, diarist, and the wife of the painter Philip de László. A member of the prominent Guinness family, she was the granddaughter of Robert Rundell Guinness, who founded the Guinness Mahon bank. She became part of the Hungarian nobility in 1912, when her husband was ennobled by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Guinness, who met de László in 1892 in Munich while studying music, was the subject of a series of his portraits.
