The Cocktails with a Curator series associates this with a portrait previously attributed to Hoppner, identified through the work of Eloise Owens. Xavier Salomon presents the work on Youtube.

I believe this may be Elizabeth Sophia De Visme (born 1775), daughter of David De Visme, who married John Baillie. Elizabeth's grandfather Pierre De Visme and his brother Philippe came to England from France as a Hugenout refugee in the early 1700s. The De Visme brothers became wealthy merchants in London. Many of their descendants became well known in their various fields.
