Mrs. William Loring Andrews

1861–63
Not on view
This portrait has an unusual oak frame that appears to have been constructed by a cabinetmaker rather than a traditional framemaker. It was likely made to match the furnishings and architectural details of a room in the sitter’s home. Jane Crane Andrews (1840–1930), seen here around the time of her marriage, was later a member of the board of the Woman's Hospital and the National Society of Colonial Dames. Her husband, William, was a trustee of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and organized its library in 1880.
