Portrait of a Gentleman from a Connecticut Family
Unidentified · n.d.
In this miniature, the gentleman’s off-hand glance, raised eyebrow, and suggestive grin hint at a self-assured personality. His powdered white hairstyle, typical of British aristocrats in the late eighteenth century, suggests his efforts to present himself as a man of fashion and status.
