It was painted in 1800, when she was eighteen, exactly the …
Thank you so much for all you’ve done to help those in need from Dorian. I know the donation meter has been pretty still but our faithful Elizabeth Adams has been swamped with fixing up her house and hasn’t had the opportunity to update it.
