Anders Zorn. Portrait of Martha Dana, 1899 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).

Oil on canvas: 68.6 x 50.8 cm. Martha Isabella Dana (1872-1960) of Boston, here in her late twenties. She had this portrait commissioned while Zorn stayed in the USA. Within a couple of years after this portrait she married William Robert Mercer (1862-1939). They were both part of the wealthy upper class, and they both inherited considerable sums. Having no kids, they seem to have doted on their pets. Their private pet cemetery is still at Aldie Mansion, Doylestown/ PA (they even buried several horses). Dana would later become a prominent benefactor to local arts institutions. In 1928 she donated this portrait to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
