Mary Stoughton Sloss married Levin Winder in 1790, three years before she sat to William Clarke. Her ambitious starched bonnet seems to mirror the upwardly mobile political aspirations of her husband, the future Governor of Maryland, whose portrait also hangs on this wall (no. 5). A glimpse of the family’s estate on Monie Creek near Princess Anne, Somerset County, appears in the background.
