Elizabeth Randolph, b. 1742. Married (1762) Philip Grymes, of Middlesex Co., Va. Elizabeth Randolph, c. 1755 John Wollaston (1730s–1775) Oil on canvas Gift of Kate Brander Mayo Skipwith Williams, 1947.71 At the time she sat for John Wollaston, Elizabeth Randolph (born c. 1750–died before 1773) was just beginning to learn genteel behavior, for she was probably not much more than five or six years of age. Nonetheless, she already could dress in the manner of and assume the bearing of a lady. A cold and stark masonry frame derived from the European portrait tradition enframes her. This convention may seem odd for an image of a young child, but it served to convey the sitter's Old World heritage. Wollaston gave patron William Randolph III not only a portrait of a beloved daughter but also made clear to all this heir's expected place in society. |
