About Artwork: (1807–10) "When this portrait and its companion (69.22.1) came to the Museum, the sitters were unidentified. It is now known that the sitter is Anne Brown Dickey (1783–1846), the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George Brown. She was born in Northern Ireland but immigrated with her family to Baltimore, where she married Robert Dickey, a merchant, in 1807. The portraits, as Mrs. Dickey's veil may indicate, were possibly made to commemorate that occasion. The couple moved to New York, where the sitter is said to have had ten children, two of whom appear in Jarvis’s later work, "Mrs. Robert Dickey and her Children" (private collection). Jarvis reputedly turned out up to six portraits a week, animating the face to obscure his difficulty with the figure, but leaving the drapery and background to an assistant. Jarvis also painted the sitter's parents (private collection)." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
