This evocative portrait captures the enchanting likeness of Jennie Walters as a little girl, painted by George Augustus Baker around 1860. Jennie, born in 1853, was the beloved daughter of William T. and Ellen Walters, and the sister of Henry Walters. Raised in the United States, she received an impressive education in Paris, St. Mary's Convent in Georgetown, and later at Harvard University.
