Biography

Sarah C. Frothingham was born in 1821 in Salem, Massachusetts, United States. [1] Her father, James Frothingham (1786–1864), who was an academic and portrait painter, was her instructor. [3] [4] [1]

In 1837, when she was sixteen years old, she first exhibited her paintings at the National Academy of Design. Between 1837 and 1845, she did most of her paintings in New York.
