[1] _Catalogue of Pictures in the Collection of Joseph Harrison, Jr., Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia_, Philadelphia, c. 1870: 4, no. 10. The frame appears to be the original; it bears a nineteenth century label from the frame shop of James S. Earle and Son, 6 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. On the back of the board itself are labels fromm the Harrison collection and the 1887 exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

[3] _Catalogue of Paintings, Statuary, etc. The Collection of the Late Joseph Harrison, Jr. (of 221 S. 18th St., Rittenhouse Square) and belonging to the Estate of Mrs. Sarah Harrison, Deceased_, M. Thomas and Sons, Philadelphia Art Galleries, sale of 23-25 February 1910: 37. The sale was recorded in American Art Annual 8 (1911): 353, 377, where the portrait is listed as by Charles Willson Peale. An annotated copy of the auction catalogue at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania gives the price brought by the portrait, but not the buyer's name. (This information is courtesy of Carolyn Sue Nutty, who notes that two prices are listed by each lot, perhaps reflecting the pre-sale estimate and the sale price. For this painting the two prices were $250 and $50. Conversation with Ellen G. Miles, 15 May 1996.)
