Memorial Portrait of Catharine Schultz (1789-1832). Culture: American. Dimensions: 25 5/8 × 22 5/8 in. (65.1 × 57.5 cm)Framed: 25 5/8 x 22 1/2 x 2 in. (65.1 x 57.2 x 5.1 cm). Date: ca. 1836.This painting and embroidery on silk was conceived as a memorial portrait following Catharine Schultz's death in 1832 at age 43, but it shows her as a much younger woman. The likeness was probably copied from a miniature portrait painted when Catharine was around 15 years old as the empire style dress and hair style date to 1803-1806. Newspaper fragments from the backing of the original period frame have advertisements for businesses that appear in New York City directories from 1833-37, which help date the portrait. The painted face is highly expressive and well-painted, undoubtedly by a professional. The needlework was likely done by one of Catharine Schultz's female relatives. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
