A copy of a letter accompanying this painting identifies both the sitter and the artist and dates to work to 1869. Written by Adeline Stromberg, Washinton''s step-daughter, it relates that according to family history Brumidi was staying with William''s grandparents in New York and painted members of the family to pay for his board.
