that this papers references to the
painting have caused a notable revival
of interest In Sully's works
Yesterday The Journal told OF a
beautiful Sully canvas in the posses
sion Of E Il. Howle, OF South Rich
mond. Today State Pension Clerk K.
l.. g. Scott. reports that his family
also has n Sully portrait which Is In
perfect condition.
This portrait Is a likeness of Mr..
SCOTS mother. who before her mar
riage was Caroline A. Baird, dauRh-
states Navy. Mrs Scott was born In
November, 1881, and therefore is now
well advanced In years. She sat for
Sully In 1912. when child OF eleven.
At that time Mrs. Scott. as well as
the artist. lived in PHILADELPHIA. Even
the famous painter. for she saw him
frequently In the early seventies. whom
he was quite cid.
One OF the artists nephews was
CeptaIn Robert Sully. for a long time
prominently connected with the At
l2ntc Coast Line.
Although Thomas SulIy. perhaps, Is
best remembered through his famous
work. Washington Crossing the Del
aware. he painted the portraits OF
some &c the worlds most famous peo-
pie. Among these was Queen Vic
torie. who sat for Sully before her
marriage
The young queen must have found
the work OF posing for the painter
somewhat drksome, as she sat by
proxy" when the artist developed the
drapery effects. This proxy was Sully's
daughter.
One day while Miss Sully was dis
charging this duty the queen came in
unexpectedly and the less aristocratic
lass was greatly awed. FEARS later
Suliys daughter attended the funeral
Of the beloved queen.
According to Mrs. Scott. who often
talks reFniniscentIy OF the artist. Sully
particularly liked to paint comely
young people And when his subject
WAS q girl or child. he was especially
careful about the attire Of the per
son to be portrayed. He was fond
or decollete drapery effects which he
himself arranged with great care.
Mrs Scott, when. as Caroline Baird
she sat before Sully. was a beautiful,
girl with bewitching curIs. and the
artist found delight Ia transferring her
caertns 80 bis canvas. Today this pic
tarS IL the most Treasured possession
of the Scott family. A ng-standing
order prevails In connection with It
IAts order commands every one. In
case OF fire, to make straight for the
picture and pat 1t out OF harms way
