| Notes |
Notes from The White House Historical Association: ". . . She first posed for Sully on March 10, 1833; that portrait was given to Sully's wife. More than a year later, Sully began two portraits of [Kemble]. According to Sully's notations, one was 'to accompany Fanny Kemble to England' (finished June 17), and the other painted for Pierce Butler (finished June 18). The former . . . is probably the White House painting. . . . ". . . The actress's softly brushed, loosely contoured, impossibly long shoulder and her right arm are put into virtually the same plane, close to the picture's surface. This unusual, contrived pose--the upper body is a tall narrow lozenge, the right elbow its insubstantial base--injects a wistful, ephemeral note, complemented by the exquisite transparency of the organdy sleeve." |
