Ejeren er kendt. Om det er udstillet i dag, siger museet ikke, og at gætte har vi ikke lært.
Thomas Shippen (1793-1810) was two or three years old when James Peale painted this miniature. Thomas and his brother, William---whose miniature by James Peale is also in this collection [see 1999.87.5]---were the sons of Thomas Lee Shippen (1765-1798) and Elizabeth Carter Farley (1774-1826). Farley’s miniature, painted by Hugh Bridport, is also in this collection [see 1999.87.2].
