In this colored portrait of Johannetta Maria Kymbel Ettwein (1725-1789), she wears clothing typical of a Moravian woman during the General Economy, including a Schneppelhaube, or head covering, and blue ribbons that identify her as a Married Sister. Johannetta joined the Moravians in Germany in 1741 and married John Ettwein in 1746.
She came with her husband to Bethlehem in 1754, where she lived the rest of her life.
