I possess a partiality for irregular houses, when you go up and down steps, out of one room into another and when you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where then is a bountiful provision of little halls & passages, and where you find older rooms in unexpected places with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them.
FANNY SEWARD PORTRAIT BY EMANUEL LEUTZE
c. 1867
Oil on canvas 3/4 portrait of Frances "Fanny" Adeline Seward (1844-1866), daughter of Sec. Seward. Young girl with dark hair pulled back, with some loose curls falling on back; she is facing left. She is wearing a gown with a sheer white lace upper bodice and lavender lower bodice and skirt. Posthumous portrait includes several symbols to show that Fanny had passed away: downturned bouquet, stormy clouds, white "corpse hand," morning glories.
