English: Baroness Antonia Cornelia Elbertine Scholten van Aschat et Oud-Haarlem. A member of a prominent Dutch banking family, she married James Greenleaf of Boston, Massachusetts, in 1788. She may have become pregnant by him and miscarried, or the pregnancy may have been a ruse. They married. Greenleaf expressed unhappiness with the marriage (which he may have entered into solely to gain access to Dutch bankers). The baroness had at least one son by Greenleaf by 1795. The couple divorced divorce on September 3, 1796. (She may also have divorced him on grounds of abandonment in the Netherlands. The painting is dated either 1793 or 1795, by an unknown Dutch artist. (Clark, p. 90.))
