Remarks:
Mary was the second wife of John Winn (baptised Jan. 20, 1707-died ca. 1789), a substantial landowner and planter in Virginia. Mary and John married in 1738 and lived on his Hanover County plantation "Jessamine Lawn." They had five children, the eldest of whom was born ca. 1749. This portrait of Mary Winn is believed to be her wedding portrait painted in 1738. In 1738, the artist Charles
Bridges
also lived in Hanover County, Virginia. The painting descended through the family to Girard Burwell Lambert, "Carter Hall," Millwood, Virginia, the great-great-great-grandson of the sitter. Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Christopher acquired the painting in 1948 when they purchased "Carter Hall." The painting was listed as attributed to Charles
Bridges
in both the 1983 Sotheby Parke Bernet sale catalog and in the 1985 Christie's sale catalog. IAP files contain additional information supporting Charles
Bridges
as the artist of the portrait.
