Artwork Description

Francis Schroeder served as the U.S. minister to Sweden and Norway from 1849 to 1857. The portraits of Francis and his wife, Caroline Schroeder, were passed down through the Schroeder family, and were at one point owned by Sara Franklin Schroeder, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin.
