A head-and-shoulders likeness of Martha Dandridge Washington, shown turned slightly to the right, with what may be a banner or lettered panel framing the figure. Born in 1731 or 1732, she married Daniel Parke Custis as a young widow's daughter and was widowed herself in 1757 with two surviving children. In 1759 she wed George Washington, and she spent much of her life managing Mount Vernon, the Virginia estate that was their home. The record suggests the piece dates from about 1888, so it is most likely a later printed reproduction of an earlier portrait rather than a likeness made from life.
