There are no extant portraits of Boyle, although her headless effigy is found praying at the tomb of her third husband, Robert Tynte, in Kilcredan, Co.

The two oak leaves on the bare tree represent the couple.</p> <p>Further description of the recreated portrait (by Joyce Joines Newman) can be found <a href="http://core.ecu.edu/umc/Munster/PDF/invented_portrait_EB.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dr. Thomas Herron, ECU Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Bibliography: Amy Louise Harris, “The Tynte Monument, Kilcredan, Co.
