The sitter in the portrait miniature is a woman of the Field family of Cobourg, Ontario painted by an unknown artist. The first representatives of Cobourg's prominent families, including the Fields, had arrived between 1830 and 1850. John Field established a business in 1832 in which his sons were later employed. Local records indicate that the family was active in the social and political life of Cobourg. The miniature was among items in the estate sale of Elizabeth Field Fisher who was a descendant of the Field family.
