Who is the subject of this painting? Why should you care?
Clue: You may have seen this somewhere in Bergen County….

Lucine Lorrimer, who bequeathed her property to NJ Audubon ("Lorrimer Sanctuary" in Franklin Lakes). She was only 38 years old when she died.

How did Ms. Lorrimer become the owner of this property and how did she die so young? Obviously she must have been a wonderful person to bequeath this so that so many others could enjoy it.
