Trained initially as a tinsmith, Jacob Eichholtz put several brief visits with portraitists Thomas Sully and Gilbert Stuart to good use. Eichholtz became known for a series of small profile portraits such as this one and its pendant [#18]. Elizabeth Key Maynadier (1759 – 1832) was the daughter of Francis Key. Her nephew was Francis Scott Key, author of America’s national anthem. The picture retains its original frame.
