A miniature portrait titled "a female red indian of newfoundland" which some sources date to 1841. It is believed to be a portrait of shanawdithit, a beothuk woman. Most likely a painted copy of portrait of demasduit (mary march), by lady henrietta hamilton (1819, see file:demasduit. Jpg). Although sometimes attributed to william gosse, the painter was more likely naturalist philip henry gosse (see also mullen, gary r. , "philip henry gosse," encyclopedia of alabama, 26 august 2008, retrieved 9 september 2011). Date: circa 1841.
