| History of Work: | The original of this work, a companion to #756, was painted by Ralph E. W. Earl on mahogany board in 1828. It survives in Chaleston, SC with the owner of this copy's sister. As a companion piece, it is admitted to this survey even though its creation date exceeds the established criteria. The artist Stark is from Gallatin, TN. |
