oid0700: Theorem Painting Still life; bouquet of flowers tied by a ribbon. Inscribed: "Painted by M. Plummer at Miss Saunders Academy Dorcester..."
Painting
painted on velvet
by Plummer, Mary S. (1740-1831) or Plummer, Mary (1771) in early 1800s

signed "painted by M. Plummer at Saunders Academy" This piece is difficult to attribute as there are several Mary Plummers but none fit easily into this time frame. SHM attributes this to Mary Plummer who was John Stevens' niece and was adopted in 1780 by John & Judith Stevens after the death of both of her parents.

oid1235: Giclee of JS Copley painting of Judith Sargent Stevens
Murray, Judith Sargent (1751-1820)
giclee
by Copley, John Singleton (1738-1815) (Original) in 1769

This portrait of the young Judith was painted around the time of her marriage to John Stevens. The fashionable turban and softly draped satin dress are intended to indicate the sophistication and social status of this young lady. Copley painted other members of Judith's family, another indication of their wealth and prominence in the community. The original hangs in the Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago.
A giclee (zhee-CLAY), is an individually produced, high-resolution reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork.
