About this work
Mary Adams was born in 1828 in the White House while her grandfather John Quincy Adams was president. Asher Durand emphasized her rosy cheeks and conveyed a more reserved personality than that of her younger sister, Georgianna Frances, whose portrait is also in the Luce Center collection.
