Virginia Poe, "Death Portrait"

This is the picture of Poe's wife and cousin, Virginia, that everyone recognizes. The problem with this picture is that it was painted after she was dead! Known as the "death portrait", the painting is unsigned and the identity of the artist has never been firmly established.
