An Amsterdam Burgomaster (). Marble portraits were scarce in the Dutch Republic. At first, they were the privilege of the nobility, but after 1650 the powerful Amsterdam burgomasters (mayors) and their relatives also had themselves portrayed in such an aristocratic fashion. The identity of the sitter in this medallion portrait is unfortunately unknown, but from his elegant clothing he appears to belong to this same Amsterdam patrician class.

Pierre Van Cortlandt American. Pierre Van Cortlandt, ca. 1731. Oil on linen, 57 x 41 9/16 in. (144.8 x 105.5 cm). The artist of these full-length portraits based the elaborate backdrops, and details such as the poses and the animals, on British royal portrait prints (see illustration) that decorated colonial homes. The pictorial link between the Van Cortlandt brothers, who were born into one of the citys wealthiest Dutch families, and British nobility suggested their great promise. Although information about John, who died in his twenties, is scarce, Pierre inherited vast properties north of Manhattan and became an ardent patriot during the Revolutionary War. American Art ca. 1731

Thomas Middleton. Artist: Mary Roberts (died 1761 Charleston, South Carolina). Dimensions: 1 1/2 x 1 in. (3.8 x 2.5 cm). Date: ca. 1752-58.The English émigré Mary Roberts was the first known miniaturist in the American colonies. She arrived in Charleston before 1735 with her husband, Bishop, and after his death in 1740 seems to have supported herself by her work. Although Roberts is thought to have been prolific, her works are rare, as most have gone unrecorded. The Museum's group of five miniatures nearly doubles her extant oeuvre. Roberts worked in a diminutive format, and her extremely small and detailed work betrays her English training.These miniatures, which date from the early 1750s and retain their original gold cases, portray a group of cousins, the children of brothers William (1710-1775) and Henry (1717-1784) Middleton. The figures sit high in the tiny picture plane. The two girls, Henrietta (1750-1792) and Hester (1754-1789), and the youngest boy, Thomas (1753-1779), wear
