Description
This watercolor miniature of Martha Washington was executed by James Peale near the end of Martha’s time as First Lady. She is portrayed at sixty-five, and her lively expression gives the portrait a lifelike characteristic. The reverse side of the portrait’s gold mounting contains a lock of Martha’s hair (image courtesy of Mount Vernon Ladies' Association).
