Artwork Description

These portraits were painted while Margaret Maclay Bogardus was in New York. We do not know much about Peter Van Dyke and his wife, previously known as Susan Ann (Hickson) Lansing, but his name suggests he was a descendant of the earliest Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam, now New York.
