 The pair of portraits was brought back to Philadelphia. Sally died in 1808, Richard in 1811. The portait of Sally was inherited by their son, Richard, Jr. On his death (1848) it passed to his son, Alexander Dallas Bache. On his death (1867) it went to his sister, Mary Bache Walker. After her death, her children offered it for sale to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it has been since 1901. |
