Unknown - portrait of a lady
This miniature portrait is unsigned. It seems to be British, but could possibly be American. If it is American, the most likely artist seems to be Sarah Goodridge (1788-1853), see plate 21 in Strickler. The sitter is unknown. 905b
The term "historical detective" may sound a little strange, but is the easiest way to express the intent of this research.
Seeking information to expand historical knowledge and finding, surprisingly often, "conventional wisdom" needs revision
