1790 Portrait by Charles Willson Peale
Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) was one of the founding fathers of American art. Peale served in the Continental Army, and during his time in service he painted a number of miniatures of his fellow officers. He would go on to paint portraits of several of America’s Founding Fathers, including Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, and of course, Washington. Peale’s masterful portrait from 1790 of William Littleton Murray, who resided in the artist’s native Maryland, depicts the young man in a casual pose that exudes a confidence and optimism that reflects the mood of our nascent nation. It has descended in the family of the sitter and is being offered publicly for the first time. Lot 9.

A second session of the sale on October 24 comprising lots 201 - 560 will offer American Furniture, Silver & Decorative Arts.
