Lady Maitland is probably -- www.thepeerage.com/p8520.htm#i85198
"Gwendoline Lucy Vaughan-Williams was the daughter of Robert Vaughan-Williams and Sarah Jane Reid.1,2 She married Lt.-Col. Frederick Colin Maitland, 14th Earl of Lauderdale, son of Lt.-Col. Frederick Henry Maitland, 13th Earl of Lauderdale and Charlotte Sarah Sleigh, on 16 April 1890 at St. Georges Hanover Square, Westminster, London, England.1 She died on 30 January 1929."
She painted miniatures.
According to www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php /n=royal?roy...
she died in Florida.
www.artfact.com/auction-lot/charles-goldsboro ugh-anderson...
gives some details about her in conjunction with a portrait by Charles Goldsborough Anderson:
"Gwendolyn Lucy Maitland, The 14th Countess of Lauderdale signed 'C. Goldsborough' (lower left) oil on canvas 881/4 x 441/2 in. (224 x 113 cm.) Painted circa 1920 NOTES This magnificent portrait originally hung in Thirlestane Castle near the Scottish town of Lauder, the family seat of the Earls of Lauderdale for nearly 800 years. Painted circa 1920, Gwendolyn Lucy Maitland stands full-length holding a bouquet of blue irises and dressed in an ephemeral white gown. From the early 1920's the countess wintered in Palm Beach, Florida and at the time this portrait was made, she was already considered one of the leading figures of Palm Beach society. In 1926 she was even awarded the keys to the city of Fort Lauderdale, a city which she had claimed one of her ancestors had founded. She was one of the original investors of a real-estate venture in 1925 involving the development of a Broward county community north of Fort Lauderdale called Floranada. Conceived by her American ancestor Major William Lauderdale, the venture failed, most likely precipitating the sale of the painting along with other Lauderdale treasures."

The note on the right of the negative "Mrs. H. Goerlitz" indicates Amy Sherwin's marriage to Hugo Goerlitz, who in October, 1915 was managing the American tour of Stella Carol, who had in August of that year been in the news for surviving the sinking of the ocean liner in which she was traveling.
