Thomas Heaphy (b.1775 - d.1835), 'Portrait of a Family, traditionally identified as the wife and children of Richard Bingham, 2nd Earl of Lucan (b.1764 - d.1839)', watercolour on paper, c.1812, British, sold for 2,500 GBP in Bonhams Private Collections sale, October 2018; London, England.

From the Estate of Veronica, Dowager Countess of Lucan (b.1937 - d.2017).

If the attribution is correct, the individuals above could be identified as any of the following:

Lady Elizabeth Howard (b.1770 - d.1819) nee Belasyse, wife of Richard Bingham, 2nd Earl of Lucan, aged 42, and their children:

Lady Elizabeth Bingham (b.1795 - d.1838, m.1815 to George Granville Vernon-Harcourt, eldest son of the Archbishop of York) aged 17;

Lady Anne Bingham (b.1797 - d.1850, m.1816 to Alexander Murray MP, of Broughton), aged 15;Lady Louisa Bingham (b.1798 - d.1882, m.1817 to Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho, son of the Earl of Wemyss), aged 14;

Lady Georgiana Bingham (b.1799 - d.1849, m.1821 to Charles Nevill of Leicester), aged 13;

George Charles Bingham (b.1800 - d.1888, later 3rd Earl of Lucan), aged 12; and 

Richard Camden Bingham (b.1801 - d.1872, secretary of legation at the court of Bavaria, m.1848 to Maria Thomas), aged 11. 

There was also a Lady Charlotte Bingham (b.1796 - d.1805), who predeceased the painting’s creation.

The age of the sitters seems far removed from the age of the age of the mother at the time of the painting’s creation (age 42) so a tentative identification of the sitters is as follows (from right to left): Richard, George, Louisa or Georgiana, Elizabeth, and Anne.

The lineage information comes from Courthope, William (ed.), 1839, ‘Debrett’s Complete Peerage of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland’, J.G. & F. Rivington: London, pg.580.

Anyways I found another Heaphy sketch.

The Fortune Teller. Attributed to Thomas Heaphy (English, 1775-1835). Oil on canvas.

Heaphy, a skilled painter, would have been more respected had he been less versatile. He was equally expert at quarrying for stone, constructing a pleasure-boat, building a house, devising an improved axle, or laying down a railway.
