EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, created by Alfred Jacob Miller in 1848, showcases Catherine H. Welch, also known as Mrs. Jesse Hare. At the time of this portrait, Catherine was the wife of Jesse Hare, a highly affluent tobacco manufacturer in the United States. The painting captures Catherine in a thoughtful moment, with her hands clasped in her lap and a gentle expression on her face. Her attire is elegant and fashionable for the time, with a grey dress adorned with gold accents and a shawl draped over her shoulders. The painting exudes a sense of kindness and understanding, with Catherine's posture and subtle gaze suggesting a deep inner wisdom. The location of the painting is not known, but it is believed to have been created after the marriage of Catherine's daughter to Decatur Howard Miller, who was the brother of the artist. The portrait is a testament to the heritage of American art and the concept of the affluent class during the 19th century in the United States. Today, this painting is a cherished addition to the collection of the Walters Art Museum, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and influential figures of the past.
