English: Portrait of Abram Quary, by Herminia Borchard Dassel, 1851. Right side bust portrait of a man; wearing black coat, brown vest, white shirt, black cravat; grey-white hair parted on right, brown eyes; sad expression; dark complexion. Oil on canvas. The Nantucket Historical Association, Accession Number: 1900.0018.001. Note: Abram Quary (1772-1854) was distinguished as Nantucket's last living male Indian. Abram Quary was born shortly after the "Indian Sickness" had decimated the island's Wampanoag population. Quary went whaling as a young man and in later life farmed, made baskets, and prepared clambakes for island residents and visitors. Herminia Dassel, who visited Nantucket in 1851, went to Quary's home in Shimmo and painted several portraits of him. Quary died just three later.
