FANNY M. BURKE (ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, 1861-1933) HISTORICAL PORTRAIT OF NICHOLAS PHILIP TRIST (VIRGINIA, 1800-1874), oil on canvas, a well-executed bust-length depiction of a brown-haired man in a collared shirt, after the 1835 Neagle portrait in the collection of Monticello. Housed in a period, possibly original molded gesso frame. Signed on the stretcher by Fanny Maury Burke (Alexandria, Virginia, 1861-1933). A brass plaque on the front reads "BEQUEST OF / MR. AND MRS. LEONARD D. SHEADS". Late 19th/early 20th century. 15 5/8" x 13 1/2" sight, 20 3/8" x 18 3/8" OA.
Catalogue Note: Nicholas Philip Trist (1800-1874) had a long, multi-hyphenate career intertwined with many figureheads of early American politics. He studied law under Thomas Jefferson, went on to be Jefferson's personal secretary, and would eventually settle his estate. He later worked in the state department, and as personal secretary under President Andrew Jackson. After later work in Cuba and in the Mexican-American war, he would end his later career in Alexandria, Virginia as the postmaster under President Grant.
Fanny M. Burke (1861-1933) was the great-great granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), and the granddaughter of Nicholas Philip Trist (1800-1874). Trist married Virginia Jefferson Randolph Trist (1801-1882), granddaughter of Jefferson, and their daughter, Martha Jefferson Trist Burke (1826-1915), is the mother of Fanny M. Burke. Burke is listed in 1899 as having an art studio in Alexandria, Virginia on the corner of King and Fairfax streets, and the census lists her occupation as an artist until 1930 when she is listed as having "no occupation".
