BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Enrichetta Fiorini Narducci (1806 - 1892) was born in Italy and married Johan Hendrik Koelman, a Dutch artist. Although both of them are quite highly thought of as artists here and abroad, her best known work in the U.S. is her miniature portrait, done in 1841, of Mary Telfair, whose father was governor of Georgia. Mary was the primary benefactor of The Telfair Museums in Savannah, the oldest public art museum in the South.
