At John Murray’s a picture of Allegra has a pencil note on the back of the sketch.
Stated to be by R. Westall R.A. However an engaving by H. Corbould in about 1827 to illustrate Byron’s lines has it as Byron and Mary Chaworth’s daughter. There is no special
likeness between Allegra and the genuine miniature, so presumably this represents Mary Chaworth’s daughter as always claimed by the Chaworth family.
In “Claire Clairmont and the Shelley” by Robert Gittings & Jo Manton (OUP 1992 pb 1995)
is another illustration of Allegra –‘ a pretty little girl enough. And reckoned like papa’ Byron, Venice, 1818
