Who is this Lady?

"I have a copy of the portrait on silk of the lady at the top of this page and dearly want to know more about her.

Who was she, etc., etc?  Also, what would be the value for insurance purposes?

I've had the picture since 1976 when I saved it from a skip.

It  measures about 38cm x 27cm and has the initials HB on the left-hand bottom corner at the same level as 'James Bacon'.
