Essie (Mrs Eustace H. Wilding, 1880–1932?) and Ruby (1889–1942?) were the fourth and sixth (and youngest) daughters of the Wertheimer family, and Ferdinand the fourth and youngest son, who later changed his name to Ferdinand (‘Bob’) Joseph Conway (1888–1950). The group was painted at 8 Connaught Place, London, where it hung over the mantelpiece in the dining-room. The poodle ‘Noble’ appears again here, along with Ferdinand's bulldog and another dog.
