Angela D. King (1834-1917) was born in Brooklyn and became the wife of Thomas Hicks in 1855. Both she and Hicks were active in the city's artistic and literary circles. Mrs. Hicks was evidently both fascinating and popular. It is said that "Angie" inspired the poet and diplomat George H. Boker of Philadelphia to compose many sonnets to her over a period of thirty years. Her admirers also included the author and editor Parke Godwin. Hicks probably painted this portrait of his wife in 1884, the year it was exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York.
