Antique Questions Forum / 225 Yr Old Pastel Picture

« on: July 19, 2003, 12:47:33 pm »

I have found in Kentucky a picture of a little girl dressend in a yellow dress.  Found in an old hous behind a framed campaign poster of Woodrow Willson from the 1916.  It was signed to Mrs. Minnie Whips.  The little girl in the pastel picture has blue eyes with print in the eyes.  She has gold wavy hair.  We are unable to find any information of this little girl using the internet, yet we have seen her in calendars and on printed lithographs.  On the back of the picture there is the name "Sopia" scratched out.  I am trying to find out if this picture I have is an authentic.  An art galery told us it is 225 years old at least.  If you have any information, please let me know.  picture will be included as soon as i can get it in the computer.  Email:  pacojohn@hotmail.com
Thank you.
