John Quincy Adams recorded his acquisition of the frame for this portrait of his wife in his diary.
My wife had charged me to procure for her two handsome picture frames for the portraits of her eldest sister, Nancy, the first Mrs. Helen and herself painted by Savage, before they were married—I went accordingly to the shop of Mr. Fryer in Gay Street.
