Portrait of a Gentleman. Artist: Henry Benbridge (American, Philadelphia 1743-1812 Philadelphia). Dimensions: 1 1/4 x 1 7/8 in. (3.2 x 4.8 cm). Date: ca. 1770.Born in Philadelphia, Benbridge studied in London and in Rome under Anton Raphael Mengs and Pompeo Batoni. In 1772, the artist settled in Charleston, where he became the city's fashionable portraitist after Jeremiah Theus died in 1774. This miniature exhibits Benbridge's colorful, linear, and crisply realistic portrait style, which is remarkably similar to that of John Singleton Copley. Dating from about 1770, it is one of the artist's earliest efforts in the medium, yet it shows more refinement than a number of his later works. The case, which is set with amethysts that match the gentleman's lavender waistcoat, is original to the piece. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes Mexican. Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes, 1788. Oil on canvas, 40 1/2 x 32 1/2in. (102.9 x 82.6cm). Painted in two major colonial American centers, these portraits from Boston and Mexico City (then New Spain) share a formality of pose and an emphasis on fine costume that reveal a common source in European portraiture. John Haskins holds his hand on his hip, in a pose of authority found in Elizabethan portraits. Nevertheless, this upright barrel maker known as Honest John Haskins” was a modest patron when compared to his wealthy and ambitious Mexican counterpart. The inscription at the bottom of Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes’s portrait lists honors and inherited titles that explicitly identify him as a descendant of an aristocratic Spanish American family.
