Lot description

ZEDEKIAH BELKNAP (MA/NY/CT, 1781-1858) Lively Young Lady of Society, her black hair coiffed with ringlets, her brown eyes fixed on the viewer with a fleeting smile on her face, a gold locket on pale blue ribbon with gold belt buckle and wedding ring, dressed in a grey velvet evening gown with lace decolletage, and generous gigot or mutton leg sleeves, first popular in the 1830s. This woman was well-loved by someone, probably in Boston or New Haven. Oil on canvas, unsigned, housed in a lemon gold molded cover frame. Possibly done by Milton W. Hopkins (1789-1844)
