John Maunsell
The British general John Maunsell (1724-1795) sat for Ramage shortly after he and his American wife, Elizabeth Stillwell, had returned to New York State from voluntary exile in Ireland during the revolution. The engraved initials are of a later date and are for Ann Eliza Van Rensselaer, the donor's great-grandmother.
