Mrs. Alexander Cumming, née Elizabeth Goldthwaite, later Mrs. John Bacon John Singleton Copley (American, 1738-1815). Mrs. Alexander Cumming, née Elizabeth Goldthwaite, later Mrs. John Bacon, 1770. Oil on canvas, 29 13/16 x 24 11/16 in. (75.7 x 62.7 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 a Woman, Called the Marchesa Durazzo probably ca. 1622-25 Anthony van Dyck Flemish During the six years he spent in Italy (1621-27), Van Dyck was frequently in Genoa, where he painted some of his most magnificent portraits. This sitter is traditionally identified as a member of the patrician Durazzo family. Whereas many of his portraits recall those of his older colleague Rubens, who had also painted in Genoa, this one testifies to Van Dycks admiration of the work of the great Venetian painter Titian (ca. 1485/90?-1576). The portrait has suffered from abrasion and relining, flattening its painterly effects.. Portrait of a Woman, Called the Marchesa Durazzo.

Lady with an Arrow American. , ca. 1715. Oil on wood panel, 26 3/8 x 21 1/16 in. (67 x 53.5 cm). Unlike the other paintings in this gallery, this work is not a portrait. Instead, it is a picture type known as an allegory, or symbolic figure. The arrow the woman holds refers to the fortunes of love. It was more common to find a variety of painted subjects in Dutch colonial homes in New York and the Hudson Valley than in other colonial households. This wide-ranging taste was inspired by Dutch cultural traditions, which for two centuries had prized the production and display of landscapes, still lifes, and allegories, as well as portraiture.

Portrait of a Woman 1633 Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) Dutch The sitters identity is unknown, as in many Rembrandt portraits of the 1630s. During that decade in Amsterdam the painter was pressed with many portrait commissions, which he handled with the occasional use of assistants and different degrees of quality in his own work. Some critics detect the hand of a collaborator in this painting, but the strong modeling of the face, delicate drawing of the cap, and immediacy of the expression are typical of Rembrandt himself.
