Catalogue Note: The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) records a painting on silk (photo no. S-3930) of similar design attributed to Elizabeth Alston Williams (b.1804), originally from William Co., NC. Elizabeth was listed in a catalogue of students for Salem Academy and College in Salem, NC, having attended from 1812 to 1816. In her painting, she shows a harbor scene with a ship and small boat, featuring a tree in the foreground and buildings in the background. The oval reserve is bordered by clusters of flowers above and oak leaves and acorns below.
In "The Ornamental Branches": Needlework and Arts from the Lititz Moravian Girls' School, Between 1800 and 1865, there is a similar silk-embroidery picture by Elizabeth Bartruff, dated 1812, p.21, Plate V. That piece features a seaside scene with an allegorical figure leaning on an anchor, looking onto a shipwreck in the distance, encompassed by a floral and branch wreath.
