The following year he painted Mrs. Webster, and soon afterhis first portrait of Mr. Webster. This picture is nearly as interesting as a fashion plate of the period as it is as a portraitof Daniel Websters first wife. She isrepresented in the costume she wore (pearl-colored hat and pelisse) two years beforeat the Bunker Hill celebration, when Mr. Webster delivered his memorable oration on laying the corner-stone of the monu-ment.
