himself a Distinguished painter. His birth
took place while his father was in Washing

the Revolution, and while Washington was a
resident of Pniladetphia, Chas. Wilson PeaIe
painted several portraits of him. Young
Rembrandt used to pass much of his time in
the studio, and in 1856, when the best of the
portraits was painted, he stood at the back of
his fathers chair, watching the operation. In
1895, when he was bus seventeen years OF age
