The label tells you the name of this
painting, who created it, and how
and when she made it. It also tells
you how the Museum got it. The word
"bequest" means that Mary Childs
Draper left this painting to the museum
in her will. While the museum label you see in the gallery doesn't
list the size of the object, the curators record the exact dimensions
of the object for their own records.
The number 77.11 is called the
accession number. Every single item
in the Museum collection has one, and it
helps curators keep track of where
they all are. It's the equivalent of a
book's call number, or a person's first
and last name.
