Hre's a link to the original painting; the lady is right-handed there...
So Monica was probably right and the left-handedness came from the
engraving technique, as it is often the case. Sorry about that lefties,

And look at that picking hand position!
One website gave this information:
Mary 'Moll' Davis, actress and mistress of Charles II, whose child Mary
Tudor (1673-1726), married the Second Earl of Derwentwater.

The lady playing the guitar is printed from an engraving and the
engraver
may have got her the wrong way round!

Really interesting. Had a quick look. Some pics of some of his
instruments. Lots of fascinating engravings: like this good-looking
