The image shows a historical document that appears to be a palette record with various color swatches and handwriting. The upper portion of the document is filled with painted color samples, neatly arranged in two rows, each sample labelled with a number. Below this arrangement, there's handwritten text discussing the colors, though the exact details are not fully legible in this view. The lower section of the image features a separate piece of paper with cursive handwriting, detailing that it is "Thomas Sully's Palette Record of the colors he used in painting the Portraits of his daughter Jane and her son T. Frances Sully at full length Date 1844." It also mentions on the reverse side, there is "a profile sketch of the head of Blanche Sully daughter of the artist." The notation "(1931.1v.2)" at the bottom right corner suggests that this document is cataloged within a collection or archive. The document serves as an insight into the artistic process of the 19th-century painter, showing how he documented his color choices for specific portraits.

This image appears to be a handwritten document that describes a palette record of the artist Thomas Sully. The document mentions that this palette record was used in painting the portraits of his daughter Jane and her son. It also states that this palette record belongs to the daughter of Blanche Sully, the artist's daughter. The document does not contain any human faces or identify any individuals, so I will not name or identify any people in the image. Instead, I have described the contents of the document as requested.
