F.H. Woodroofe refers to Frank Harry Woodroofe, sometime of the Madras Civil Service, whose well-known collection of portrait miniatures, including work by Andrew Plimer, John Smart and George Engleheart, as well as objects of vertu, porcelain and furniture was sold after his death at Christie's, London on 6 June 1907. The highlight of the sale was Plimer's most famous work: the triple portrait of Anne, Harriet and Elizabeth, daughters of John Rushout, 1st Baron Northwick.
