Portrait of Mrs. Raphaelle Peale (Margaret McGlathery Peale) (?)
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Affidavits affixed to the back of this portrait and WAM 38.443 assert that these portraits were painted by Charles Willson Peale and depict the artist's son and daughter-in-law. However this seems unlikely. The companion piece to this portrait is closer in style to the work of Raphaelle Peale, but this portait of a woman in a plain muslin dress may be by a different hand. The frames are not original to the paintings.
