 Painted as a memorial after the child's death in 1736, it remained in Franklin's home, probably until Richard Bache's death. It descended in the family of the Baches' daughter, Deborah Bache Duane, until its purchase by members of Benjamin Franklin Bache's family. It remains in the family of descendants. |
