(Scottish-American, 1822-1895)
after Daniel Huntington (American, 1816-1906), Lady Washington's Reception, image 21-1/2 x 35 in.; black painted frame, 33 x 45-1/2 in.
Note: "When the country was being torn apart by the Civil War, this image was meant to be a tool to unite the country and pay homage to the states’ common origin. The romantic, idealized scene depicts an evening reception with dignitaries to honor Martha Washington set in May of 1789 in Philadelphia, about a month after George Washington’s Presidential Inauguration." - Rachel Lovett, Curator & Assistant Director, Hammond-Harwood House Museum
