EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Margaret 'Peggy' Arnold and daughter Sophia" transports us back to the year 1787. Created by the talented artist Daniel Gardner, this masterpiece measures 62.2x54.6 cm and is housed in the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent. The subjects of this portrait are Margaret "Peggy". Shippen Arnold and her beloved daughter Sophia. Peggy Shippen was famously known as the second wife of General Benedict Arnold, a prominent figure during the American Revolution. However, what history often overlooks is that Peggy herself played a significant role in this tumultuous period as well – she was actually one of America's highest-paid spies. In this painting, we see Peggy and Sophia engaged in a playful moment together. The mother gently tugs at her daughter's hair while little Sophia giggles with delight. This intimate scene not only showcases their close bond but also hints at Peggy's intelligence and political acumen. Dressed in elegant Georgian attire, these figures represent both British colonial society and America's fight for independence simultaneously. Through Gardner's skilled brushstrokes, he captures not only their physical beauty but also their strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the complex roles women played during times of war – from devoted mothers to influential spies shaping history behind closed doors.
