Pair of portraits of a sea captain and his wife, o/c, unsigned. The captain is shown holding a spyglass. His wife is holding a bouquet of flowers. Behind her are flowers in a window box and a window looking out at mountains in the background.
A brass plaque affixed to one frame attributes the portraits to George Kennedy, (1818-1870), but experts who have subsequently examined the portraits have attributed them instead to Daniel G. Lamont, (1817-1883). The portraits are in good condition with some repair. Mid-19th century.
