Mrs. John Haskins (née Hannah Upham) is a 1759 oil by Joseph Badger, a Rococo painting work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This portrait shows a woman sitting in a landscape, wearing a dark brown dress with a white ruffled collar and cuffs. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she looks directly at the viewer. The background is a muted brown color with some trees and foliage visible on the left side. The woman's dress is intricately detailed, with a patterned bodice and a full skirt. Her hands are clasped together in her lap, and she appears to be seated in a chair or on a bench. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and reserve. The artist who created this portrait was Joseph Badger.
Joseph Badger was born on March 14, 1707/8, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the son of Stephen Badger, a tailor, and Mercy Kettell.
