Provenance

Andrew Kirkpatrick Cogswell [d. 1887], New Brunswick, New Jersey;[1] his second wife, Virginia Claiborne Latrobe Cogswell, New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Baltimore;[2] her son, John H.B. Latrobe Cogswell [d. 1967]; his half-niece, Mary V.R. Thayer [Mrs. Sigourney Thayer], Washington, D.C.; gift 1968 to NGA.

[1] The provenance was provided by the donor of the painting in an undated memorandum (in NGA curatorial files).

[2] A death date for Virginia Cogswell has not been established. An obituary for her husband in the New York Daily Tribune, 14 February 1887, states that she was then "at the point of death"; however, according to Mary Thayer (undated memorandum in NGA curatorial files), Virginia Cogswell and her son John "returned to Baltimore to live" following the death of Judge Cogswell.
