All these years, we accepted the lady with the petite nose as Clara Harris until the real Clara's photo was identified by Hallam Webber. Whoever created this painting evidently knew what the real Clara looked like.

Laurie and Betty, I was curious about the attribution also. I wonder if a mistake was made. Here is a definite work by Eastman Johnson. It's called The Boy Lincoln. The date is 1868.
