Cleveland, Cleveland Museum of Art, Juxtapositions (10 September-10 October 1965). --- PROVENANCE family of the sitter (1919); [Frank Bayley, Boston]. date: footnotes: citations: --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: Posed bolt upright in a billowing satin gown, Mrs. Atkinson (born Hannah Wentworth, 1700–1769) is almost a mannequin for the display of opulent textiles. As the sister of the first royal governor of New Hampshire and the wife of that colony's chief justice and richest man, she was as close to an aristocrat as any person in British America. Mrs. Atkinson and her husband found a suitable portrait painter in Joseph Blackburn who was probably born and trained in England, and was thus familiar with fashionable tastes. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS "Accessions."
