Literature: An inscription affixed to the backing refers to American Folk Portraits: Paintings and drawings from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center ; New York Graphic Society, 1981, p. 229 (#211) , and implies this portrait was one of five recorded portraits done by an unknown Massachusetts artist circa 1815, two of which are "half-length portraits of young women seated in Windsor armchairs; one is identified only as 'Sarah' and the other is believed to have been a member of the Greene family of Sunderland, Massachusetts. All four portraits have plain backgrounds."
