Miss Pearce

According to notes left by Don Sterling, "The Miss Pearce painted by Sully and which hung in the Delgado Museum for some tome is the daughter of Ben Pearce who commissioned the picture."

The painting in question was attributed for many years to Thomas Sully (1783-1872), a first generation American painter. This attribution has since been questioned, but prints of the painting are still available as an example of Sully's work.
