Margaret Strachan (1747–1821) was the daughter of William Strachan of London Town in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. In 1772, she married Thomas Harwood, who served as treasurer of the Western Shore of Maryland from 1776 until his death in 1804. Although undated, this work was probably executed prior to the Strachans’ marriage. It appears on a “payment due” list compiled by Peale for the period 1770 to 1775. A companion portrait of Thomas Harwood was painted around 1775 and is now in the collection of the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

For every art print we offer a range of different materials & sizes. You can pick your preferred material and size among the alternatives:

• Metal (aluminium dibond print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with an impressive effect of depth, which creates a modern look with a non-reflective surface structure. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is your best start to fine prints produced with aluminum. For your Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print your selected work of art right onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum. The bright and white parts of the original artpiece shimmer with a silky gloss but without glow. The colors of the print are luminous, the details of the print are crisp and clear. The direct UV print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely modern way to showcase art, as it draws attention on the whole artwork.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, often denoted as a print on plexiglass, will turn your artwork into beautiful wall décor and forms a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas fine art prints.
