(128 x 101.6 cm).  In these two paintings, Abigail Pickman and Elizabeth Goldthwaite sat for their marriage portraits. As was typical of upper-class white women in the colonial United States, they likely did not control how they were represented in these images, which were intended to project the familys stability and wealth. Before the American Revolution, the Boston painter John Singleton Copley was the most sought-after artist in the country. Copleys portraits, highly regarded for their skillful rendering of luxurious items such as silks and pearls, were synonymous with the tastes of the eighteenth-century social elite, both in the United States and England.

Portrait of Elizabeth Stirling Foote, 1832. Watercolor on ivory portrait in brass locket with glass lenses on both sides, Image (sight): 2 11/16 x 2 3/16 in. (6.8 x 5.6 cm).  In keeping with the emotional symbolism of miniatures, couples frequently exchanged these tokens to mark an engagement or wedding, as was the case for Elizabeth Stirling (1811-1900) and Erasmus Darwin Foote (1808-1866), who married in March 1833. (Accession no. 16.687.2, in Drawer 47A, is the companion miniature.) The artist, Thomas Seir Cummings of New York, was the most famous miniaturist of his day and also taught and published on the subject. Contemporary critics praised his works for their ability to raise sensations in the bosoms of those who gaze on them.” American Art 1832Portrait of Countess Natalia Alexandrovna Zubova (1775-1844), nee Suvorova by Tropinin, Vasili Andreyevich (1776-1857) State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow 1834 Oil on canvas 88x68 Russia Romanticism Portrait PaintingMargaret Hillegas Nichols(1760-1808).
