Smithsonian American Art Museum
Member of the Mayfield Family
George Place, Irish, born Dublin, Ireland 1760 or 1775-died Lucknow, India 1805 or 1809 · ca. 1805
Until we learn more about George Place’s life and career, it is impossible to know if the artist painted this member of the Mayfield family in the United Kingdom, the United States, or in India. The gentleman’s features appear lifelike, but his disproportionally large head and wide eyes create an unnatural composition.
