PAIR OF PORTRAITS: GEORGE FAKE (1766-1856) AND CATHERINE SNEIDER FAKE (1770-1852) inscribed on back of respective portraits George Fake, Age 49 years, and 9 months. Nov.16, 1815; Catherine Fake, Age 45 years 5 months - Nov. 16, 1815. Oil on canvas Each: 38 by 31 1/2 in. November 16, 1815; Border Period

". George Fake was a wealthy farmer and real estate speculator, a Whig and Federalist like his father. George Fake, whose given name was Johan Georg Fake, Jr., was the second of eleven children born to Johan Georg Fake (about 1734-1821) and Maria Elizabeth Lohnes Fake (d. 1806). The Fakes were immigrants from Becherbach, Germany, who ultimately settled in Pittstown in Rensselaer County, New York, and later in nearby Troy, which certainly brought them into contact with the peripatetic Phillips during his Border Period years. In 1787, George Fake married Catherine Sneider. The Fakes were members of the Gilead Lutheran Church, and they are buried in the Oakwood cemetery in Troy."

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
