AMERICAN SCHOOL (19TH CENTURY) PORTRAIT OF LUCY GOODE BRENT (VIRGINIA, 1830-1881) WITH ROBERT E. LEE ASSOCIATION, oil on canvas, depicting a young lady with brown hair pulled up and a white lace collar over her black dress. The back of the canvas bears two stamps, one for a New York supplier and the other for a Washington, DC supplier. Housed in the original gilt gesso frame. Together with two other images of women related to the same family comprising a photo of Ann Harriotte Lee Lloyd (1799-1863), first cousin of Robert E. Lee; and Rebecca Lloyd Tabb (1824-1873); each is housed in a molded walnut so-called shadowbox frame, one of which retains a family tree verso. Three pieces total. 19th century. Painting 29 1/2" x 24 1/2" sight, 36" x 31" OA.
Catalogue Note: Each of these women are from the same, rather extended, family of Robert E. Lee.
