Mr. Bennett, of Revere Street, Boston

Henry Williams, born Boston, MA 1787-died Boston, MA 1830 · ca. 1820

Nothing is known about this young gentleman, other than his last name and address. Henry Williams had trouble rendering the ears of his sitters, and this is obvious in the awkward size, shape, and placement of Mr. Bennett’s ears. The rest of the portrait, however, appears lifelike, and the artist has taken special care in showing the sparkle in the sitter’s large gray eyes.
