Catalogue Note
Juliette Tomlinson compared several elements present in the current portrait to works by J.W. Stock. "The coral necklace is similar to the painting of Jane Tyler (I:18). The doll is not unlike that in the portrait of Miss Gilmore (II:10). I suggest it might have been painted during the years Stock was in Middletown, Goshen and Port Jervis, 1852-1854.
