Portrait of a Gentleman
Raphaelle Peale, born Annapolis, MD 1774-died Philadelphia, PA 1825 · ca. 1805
This man’s elegantly knotted tie clearly shows Raphaelle Peale’s deft brushwork. Although we do not know who the sitter was, he was a man “of means” who could afford fine clothes and the services of one of America’s leading miniaturists.
