How does Portrait of Mrs. Theodore Atkinson Jr. elucidate its Related works?
Earlier in 1757, Theodore Atkinson Jr. had commissioned John Singleton Copley to paint his portrait. When Atkinson Jr. was alive, his portrait and this 1765 portrait of Frances Deering Wentworth likely hung together. In April 2017, the paintings were reunited and displayed together for the first time in more than a century at the Crystal Bridges Art Museum.
