(American, 1751-1801)
Portrait of Annie McClellan Lovett and her Daughter, unsigned, 30 x 26 in.; silver finished wood frame, 32 x 28 in.
Note: While unsigned, this portrait bears a strong stylistic similarity to the portrait Mrs. John Johnston (Martha Spear), painted in 1785, on page 135-136 of Kornhauser, Elizabeth Martin, J. A. Bushman, Stephen H. Kornhauser, and Aileen Ribeiro. Ralph Earl: The Face of the Young Republic. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1991. The distinct similarity in dress places these two portraits as contemporaneous.
Condition
lined, areas of retouch; frame with minimal wear
