George Myrick Jr. and Eliza Mitchell, ca. 1830

Later Nantucket composition celebrating the marriage of George Myrick Jr. to Eliza Mitchell in which the white roses have replaced the traditional pink roses. Children who have died are represented by wilted blossoms hanging from the broken stems and identified by a banner held in the beak of a dove. The normally overlapping planted hearts are depicted apart.
