拍品专文

Elizabeth (Betsy) Way Champlain, of New London Connecticut, maintained correspondence for many years with her sister, miniaturist Mary Way, and her daughter, miniaturist Elizabeth Champlain. The three women often referred to themselves as: "The Sisters of the Brush". For more information on this family of miniaturists, see MacMullen, Ramsay, Sisters of the Brush: Their Family, Art, life and Letters 1797-1833, (New Haven, 1997). Betsey Champlain's rare works can be found in the collections of the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Yale University gallery.
