[HQ MP4]

Molly Wales Fobes sat for this portrait in 1790. I wonder what she thought the world would look like 230 years later. Would women be allowed to vote? Would somebody use a device powered by electricity to make the cat’s eyebrows wiggle?

🙏 to the Met for making the painting available in the Public Domain.
