broham,

perhaps there is no connection at all. It didn't appear that Lord Byron was really connected to anyone.

thank you for comment

Lord Byron was half brother with Leigh, but who is George N. Gordon?

George Noel Gordon is Lord Byron. Augusta Leigh was his HALF sister, yes. She was a close confidant of his. It would appear not so,like they preferred, as their relationship was scoffed for rumors that they, for a time, were also lovers. Driven into exhile, sort to speak.
Her eye, his left ear, her face, the back of his head, signifies that they were together in thought and that she may have been, for a time, food for some of his art. Thanks for thinking about my interpretation through my painting.

she walks in beauty
..........like the night
of cloudless climbs
......and starry skies
and all that's best
..of dark and light
meet in her aspect
