The basis for my Chihuahua is this engraving of Abigail Adams. I gave the little pup a different hat, but I liked the composition of this portrait, with the pretty outfit, the muff, the curtain, and the landscape in the background. The engraving was done by H.S. Sadd. He used a painting by John Singleton Copely as a model for the engraving. And so the tradition continues, re-imagining portraits of the masters, though now the subject is now completely unrecognizable.
