Mary Phoebe Spencer Nelson Taylor and Daughters (1776–1847) 

This portrait by John Russell depicts Mary Phoebe Spencer Nelson Taylor and her two daughters. The painting likely dates to the late 18th century or early 19th century, based on the artist's lifespan and the fashion of the sitters. The composition is typical of portraiture from this period, with the subjects arranged formally in a domestic setting. The use of soft lighting and muted colors contributes to a sense of intimacy and domesticity. The painting offers a glimpse into the lives of a wealthy American family during the early years of the United States.
