Figure 28 Charles-Balthazar-Julien Févret de St. Mémin, Harriet Rogers, Baltimore, Maryland, ca. 1806. (Courtesy, Maryland Historical Society; gift of Helen Hubbard, Mrs. Walter Oakman, and the estate of Mrs. J. H. Ten Eyck Burr.) While in Baltimore, Saint-Mémin depicted several sitters with landscape backgrounds. Of the firmly identified images, that depicting Harriet Rogers, the daughter of Nicholas and Eleanor Rogers, is the only one in which a residence of the sitter is shown, suggesting that the Rogers family strongly identified themselves with Druid Hill.
