Description
John Wood Dodge (1807-1893, working Nashville 1840-1861), watercolor on ivory miniature portrait of a woman with dark hair, wearing a black dress and star shaped brooch. Inscribed on back: "Painted by John W. Dodge from New York City / Nashville, Tenn. August 20, 1840. Likeness of Mrs. Baker."

His account book, which survives for the years 1828-1854, lists "Mrs. Baker" as one of his earliest Nashville subjects. A copy of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly, Spring 2000, which contains an article by Raymond White about John Wood Dodge and lists "Mrs. Baker" among his subjects, accompanies this lot.
