Source Description
Affidavits affixed to the back of this portrait and WAM 38.444 assert that these portraits were painted by Charles Willson Peale and depict the artist's son and daughter-in-law. However this seems unlikely. This miniature is more in the style of Raphaelle Peale. The frame are not original to the paintings.
