Abstract:
Full length portrait of a baby, seated on a wooden chair, wearing a dress with gold buttons down the front, and gold jewelry
(necklace). Arm of adult woman[?] on the left. Identified by collector as a daughter of S.C. Hastings who founded the Hastings
Law School in San Francisco. However, it is unclear whether the child is a girl or a boy. Mackay also identifies sitter as
the same daughter pictured in 1905.16242:70.
