Dancing Girl
Painted by an unknown artist and presented to Mrs. Lee. It hung for many years under Washington's portrait in the parlor of Arlington House. It reflects the Custises’ and Lees’ fondness and appreciation for art and perhaps even their unconventionality. Mildred Lee inherited the painting which she gave to the donor, Mr. George Upshur.
