- Given an original Gainsborough landscape painting by her Mother on her wedding. This painting was later owned by the Marquis of Lansdowne and displayed in London at 1936 Gainsborough exhibition. On 17 October 1807, Hester wrote of the painting "The Subject Cattle driven down to drink, & the first Cow expresses Something of Surprize as if an Otter lurked under the Bank. It is a naked looking Landschape "done to divert Abel the Musician by representing his Country Bohenia in no favourable Light, & the Dog is a favourite's Portrait...".
