Allethania Fisk Farrar (1834-1835) was the subject of a portrait by Asahel Power, an accomplished folk artist (as was Eliza Ann Farrar). As an admirable wife she is portrayed with the tool of sewing and needlework.
Prominently shown are a pair of scissors attached by a chain to the lady's belt in the style of a chatelaine.
