Josephine LaRoe was a member of a long-time Terrell family whose life was cut short in her late teens in an automobile accident. A popular member of the Terrell High School class of 1930, she served on the yearbook staff and was president of the senior class. She was very talented in ballet and had taken much training in this art form.

• The interesting life-size image here displayed was a tribute to her young life and hung in her family's home until her mother's death in 1955.

• The portrait appears to be an oil-tinted photograph on paper. Note the soft color tones and detailed rendering of the image. 

• The display is bright, well-lit and quite a breathtaking life size painting to behold.
