William Lippincott

Object Details

Luce Center Label
There are several men by the name of William Lippincott who may have sat for this portrait. The sitter probably posed for Daniel Dickinson in Philadelphia, and there is evidence to suggest that this portrait was commissioned on the occasion of his wedding.
