Note: According to the consignor, this theorem was painted by the mother of Louisa H. Rogers, Winifred Lane (Wake County, North Carolina,1780-1872), who also wrought the rare 1824 Asheville sampler in this auction. A related theorem by the artist's granddaughter that utilized at least one of the same stencils can be seen in the collection of the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Winifred was a direct descendant of the first Colonial Governor of Virginia.
