Picture of the day

Lady Dorothy Browne and Sir Thomas Browne is an oil-on-panel painting attributed to English painter Joan Carlile and probably completed between 1641 and 1650. It depicts Thomas Browne, the son of a merchant from Cheshire, who eventually became a physician and author in Norwich; and his wife Dorothy Browne (née Mileham), who came from a land-owning family in Norfolk. The two Brownes are portrayed in contrasting styles, with Lady Dorothy looking directly at the viewer with a pleasant expression while Sir Thomas appears to be staring into the distance. The painting is in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.Painting: Joan Carlile

Title of the article

Is this the official or common name of the painting? I am asking because of an odd inconsistency between the title and the customary style of the wives of knights. Dorothy would have been referred to as "Lady Browne", possibly as "Dorothy, Lady Browne" if there was a need to distinguish her from another, but never "Lady Dorothy" or "Lady Dorothy Browne". The source of this image names the sitter as "Dorothy, Lady Browne". I do not see the title of the painting, unless it is supposed to be "Dorothy, Lady Browne (née Mileham); Sir Thomas Browne".
