Illustrated: The Painter Lady, Grace Carpenter Hudson; # 459, (The Watermelon Boy); page 175
On looking up the numbers you gave me, I find that 459 is a portrait of my God-son, Hudson, whose Indian name is Shi-ya-li. The family camped in my back pasture while I was painting him, and the scene depicted was an every day affair, when it was not something else getting eaten.
Sincerely
Grace Hudson
