Kennedy, Jr. during the funeral for President Kennedy, for the fourth painting in her "Fading Memories" series, artist Tansill Stough-Anthony drew inspiration in part from her childhood memories of watching the funeral procession on television. "I do remember the procession," recalled Stough-Anthony in her 2015 oral history. "I do remember the horses. I love horses." However, she did not recognize the significance of the riderless horse until she had already started work on this painting. She said, "I just really wanted to do a horse. I'm a horse lover. And I realized that, when I was doing this, that the boot was actually backwards. And I didn't know why and found out that it was called the caparisoned horse because he is actually elusively carrying the dead person, and that is significant of the backward boot." -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
