Dorinda Evans/Oct 4, 2006/a Confirmation of Sorts

I wrote Ms Evans a note in Oct of 2006 about my Portrait, then sent her a high quality digital photo.
Ms Evans wrote The Genius of Gilbert Stuart, Princeton University Press, Princeton NJ 1999
Is the Portrait a copy? No.

Beth,

You're right. It is by Gilbert Stuart, or, because I'm not seeing
it in the flesh, it is a careful copy of a Stuart. You can date it on
the probable age of the sitter and his location (when it could have
overlapped Stuart), but it looks, from the costume and the painting
style, to date from about 1800.

Best wishes,

Dorinda Evans
