The costume and background of this portrait indicates Maentel probably painted the subject between 1810 and 1815. Maentel did other watercolor portraits similar to this including one at the New York State Historical Association (see D'Ambrosio and Emans, Folk Art's Many Faces: Portraits in the New York State Historical Association (Cooperstown, 1987); for further information see also Mary Black, Simplicity, A Grace: Jacob Maentel in Indiana (Evansville, 1990); see also footnote to lot 366.
