Mary Jane Peale
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Mary Jane Peale (born New York City, February 16, 1827 - died Pottsville, Pennsylvania, November, 1902) was an American painter. She was the child of Rubens and Eliza Burd Patterson Peale, the only daughter among seven children, and was the granddaughter of Charles Willson Peale. She was among the last members of the Peale family to paint professionally, studying with her uncle Rembrandt and with Thomas Sully in Philadelphia, and was enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Later in life she taught her father to paint, after his retirement. She produced mainly portraits and still lifes. Today her work may be seen at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Sheldon Museum of Art, and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, among other museums.
