Mary M. Phillips
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Three-quarter, seated portrait of a young woman holding a cat in her lap, with a landscape background.
Despite the inscription engraved on the back of the frame, which attributes this miniature to the American artist Rembrant Peale, it is likely European in origin.
