Elie Williams 1789 Charles Willson Peale American Peale executed this vivid portrait during a period of incessant experimentation with his paints. The artist, who was seeking stronger colors and bolder contrasts, realized those aims here, especially in the robust flesh tints and the fashionable costume. The change in palette as well as the direct gaze of his subject increased the realism of the work. The Philadelphia Windsor chair, with its green paint worn down to the grain, is convincingly rendered. Williams (1750-1822) was a quartermaster in the Maryland militia when he sat for Peale.. Elie Williams. Charles Willson Peale (American, Chester, Maryland 1741-1827 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). American. 1789. Oil on canvas

Joseph Sherburne. Artist: John Singleton Copley (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1738-1815 London). Dimensions: 50 x 40 in. (127 x 101.6 cm). Date: ca. 1767-70.The subject of this astonishingly vital portrait was a wealthy Boston merchant. He chose to be painted wearing a loose but elegant banyan, or lounge robe--a popular gentleman's fashion at the time--and a turban instead of a formal wig. Most striking about the portrait is its convincing sense of reality, which Copley achieved through various means. He meticulously painted every fold of cloth and bit of pattern in Sherburne's damask gown as well as every fleshy wrinkle on his face and hands. Likewise, by lighting the picture strongly from the left, Copley created a tangibly solid figure. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
