Susan Ridley Sedgwick was the granddaughter of a New Jersey governor, named William Ridley.[30] She was also the wife of Theodore Sedgwick, who defended Elizabeth Freeman in court, which might be another reason why she decided to paint Elizabeth. When Elizabeth Freeman was around seventy-years-old, Susan Sedgwick painted a miniature portrait of her.[31] In this watercolor on ivory which is only seven and half by five and a half centimeters in size, Elizabeth Freeman is wearing a blue dress with a bonnet and drawstrings and a gold beaded necklace.[32] Elizabeth is turned slightly towards the viewer. It seems that the face and body were most likely painted over with watercolors over the “stipple gray background.”[33] Susan’s portrait of Elizabeth Freeman is now in the possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society located in Boston; anyone can go view this tiny portrait of a very inspirational woman.[34]
