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

Description / Remarks
MacGibeny, 2022: Although the title of this drawing was Spanish Woman during Johnson's lifetime (1884 at the latest), the sitter appears to be the same as in Johnson's paintings titled Cosette, after a French protagonist in the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.
