45.4 U.S. Later Portrait Drawings, Women, Unidentified
The identities of the women in these portraits have not yet been confirmed. However, the drawings are known or believed to have been done in the United States, after Johnson returned from Europe in late 1855, based on factors including their inscriptions and the appearance of the sitters and style of the drawings when images are available. —AM
