...while I was very disappointed by the "real" size of Monet's Water Lilies at the MoMA! I had always imagined the painting to be much bigger! (Well, in this regard, not much can beat Rembrandt's "Night Watch", I assume...)

I've never seen this particular photo, but it shows a very young lady, in my estimation. I'll guess an early picture of Frances Folsom Cleveland, I believe the youngest First Lady on record??

Ok, coloring cheeks according to this article dates farther back than I thought:
"Tinting an image was popular early on in the history of antique images, especially in the early 1860s. The most common type of tinting was a pinking of the cheeks to give the face a little healthy color. You will see pink cheeks on ambrotypes, cdvs, and tintypes." http://www.ebay.com/gds/Pink-Cheeks-Tint...086/g.html So one might have to look for an earlier First Lady. The lady in the photo looks 20 or younger. Mary McElroy (born in 1841)? |

Great research, Eva! But it's not Mary McElroy.
Hint #1: Here is an image of this First Lady when she was quite young: |
