The picture of Absalom comes from a small glass painting, that still hangs in the house that he built in 1806 on Main St, Cromwell CT. The picture was painted when he was in France. Absalom was a sea captain and is said to have died of yellow fever on the return trip from one of his West Indian voyages.
