We have located several portraits that Starkweather painted and will attempt to add more as we get permission from
the owners to display them. Starkweather was commissioned to paint many prominent individuals and family portraits. In addition,
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a beautiful portrait in their collection of Peggy Bacon from the balcony of Starkweather's Washington Square studio
in Winter. The Met created a greeting card from that watercolor painting (and it may be reprinted soon). The largest known portrait was of Margaret Donegan painted in oil in 1915 and the smallest known portrait was of Joaquin Sorolla in 1909. Starkweather created an oil painting
in 1932 of Thelma Morgan Furness, Viscount Furness, twin sister of Gloria Mercedes Morgan Vanderbilt. Mistress of Prince
Edward. In 1914 he created a portrait of Jane Mead Tiffany Porter and in 1911 of Vera Tomescu. Decendents of the Brown family, who owned the Starkweather Museum in Endless Caverns, have many Starkweather portraits
in their possession.
In addition, the Smithsonian needs your help in identifying some of the portraits in their collection.
