Frances Folsom Cleveland

This oil on canvas portrait of First Lady Frances Folsom Cleveland was done by Casimir Gregory Stapko and is a copy of an earlier portrait by Anders Zorn. Mrs. Cleveland was the first, and to date only, first lady to be married in the White House, on June 2, 1886, a year into Grover Cleveland's first administration. At 21 years old, she was the youngest First Lady, also serving in that role when her husband was elected a second time to a non-consecutive term in 1893.
