Copley Family Hat

by John Singleton Copley
1776/1777

John Singleton Copley is in the back, with brushes. He stands behind his father-in-law, Richard Clarke, who holds baby Jonathan. Susanna Copley sits on the sofa, holding John Copley, while Mary Copley leans over her arm. The little girl in front is Elizabeth Copley. If you look closely, you can see that the doll on the floor on the far left is dressed just like Elizabeth, from her striped skirt to her adorable turban.

So adorable. Elizabeth's dress & hat remind me of Dolly Madison. So fashionable for the times. *:)Vicky
