Housed under UV glass in a period, possibly original, veneer frame. Dated 1840. 16 3/4" x 15 3/4" sight, 21 1/2" x 20 1/2" OA.
Catalogue Note: Identified as Harriet (Harriett) Tyler who was born on July 29, 1831 in Richmond or Henrico Co., VA to parents William V. Tyler (b.c.1799) and Mary Ann Murray (1807-1854). As recorded in the 1850 U.S. Census for Henrico Co., VA in dwelling and family no. 476, she had at least six sisters. Harriet married William Hammat Dean (1828-1865) on December 3, 1850, and the couple had five children. During the Civil War, her husband, William, served in the Confederate Army (C.S.A.), though details of his service are currently unknown. It is presumed that he died at Point Lookout in Maryland, one of the largest prisons of C.S.A. POWs, since he died on July 2, 1865 and is buried at Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery in Scotland, MD. After the war, Harriet remarried to Albert Goode (1822-1888) some time before 1870. After Albert's death, Harriet continued to live in Richmond with at least one son/step-son. She died on February 19, 1913 and is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Richmond, VA along with her second husband.
