Head and shoulders right profile of Peter Toney. Micmac indians were popular subjects with Lady Falkland. She collected works by McKie and Nutting and executed several herself. Lady Falkland was in Halifax while her husband was governor of Nova Scotia (1840-46). Her connection to local amateur artists is not documented outside of this album., That the work was bought suggests a commercial transaction. This inscription is also on 1990-207-33X., McKie is known as an amateur artist in Halifax. She exhibited four works at the Halifax Mechanics Institiute exhibit at Dalhousie College in September, 1849.
