Ann Willing Bingham

Ann (or Anne) Willing Bingham (1 Aug 1764 – 11 May 1801) was an American socialite from Philadelphia, regarded as one of the most beautiful women of her day. She was the eldest daughter of Thomas Willing, president of the First Bank of the United States, the wife of the wealthy William Bingham, mother-in-law of Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton, and correspondent of Thomas Jefferson among others.

Bingham was also the model for multiple portraits by painter Gilbert Stuart. Legend has it that Bingham is therefore the model for Lady Liberty on the American "Draped bust" coinage (multiple denominations) during the first decade of the 19th century, but this has not been proven.
