        Georgecink discusses the portrait as a tantalizing 'puzzle picture' of encoded signs and clues, possibly related to the book's author. Concludes that the portrait is but one of Mary Villiers' famous tricks: "...the image here, as well as the text of Female Poems...by Ephelia, contains interesting signs to suggest that Ephelia may have been Lady Mary Villiers .... the book [and the portrait] becomes of great interest to feminist literary critics and historians as the work of the most highly placed woman writer at the second Caroline court" (p 490).

Hardman, S.J. Sir Anthony Van Dyck: The English Portraits. Atlanta, GA: Corvo-Wilde Society, 1999. Concurs that the argument for Mary Villiers as “Ephelia’ is an important case: “Since her [Mulvihill’s] 1992 publication (Poems by Ephelia, NY, 1992; second printing, 1993], Mulvihill has assembled an important case for Lady Mary Villiers as the enigmatic ‘Ephelia’ ” (p 14).

        Hast offers a brief, closely sourced factual overview of Villiers' life, with the splendid contemporary commentary on Villiers as being "the most 'rejouissante' (amusing) woman in the world," as Isaac de Bartet ("a French agent in England") wrote to Cardinal Mazarin in December, 1660. Yet Hast's representation of Mary Villiers oddly omits essential commentary, published well before 2004, by Sir Oliver Millar, Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Emilie E.S. Gordenker, Maureen E. Mulvihill, et al., as well as the 'royal Van Dyck' of Mary Villiers (bearing the distinctive cipher of Charles I's art collection) at the Historical Portraits gallery, Mayfair, London, 2002 <www.historicalportraits.com/> (see 'Discoveries' link), valuation £1.6M.
