Unframed, acrylic on Anjac Gesso Panel, 13″ x 35″. It is a portrait of Grace Atwood Millett (1889-1971), painted by Westford artist William Atwood Millett.

Grace lived in Westford throughout her life and was married to Nathan Millett (1871-1955). She was also a nurse in town, practicing from 1912 to the 1950s.

The piece was donated by the J.V. Fletcher Library in 2020, along with other works by the artist.
