Description
Portrait of Charlotte Deming. Oval frame with figure in center. The sitter has her hair up and parted down the middle. She is wearing a grey dress wth a sheer mantel depicted as lace clasped with a flower brooch. The background is dark and plain. It is speculated that the background was darkened after her death and that possibly the shawl was added later then the original painting as well to convey more modesty to the sitter.
Comment
She is the daughter of Frederick Deming and Mary Gleason.
