John Brown Copp Silhouette

Unknown artist

This is a framed cutout silhouette portrait of John Brown Copp (b. 1779) done during the early 19th century. Silhouette portraits became popular during the late 18th and early 19th century due to their affordability compared to the time and expense of an oil painted portrait. The silhouette’s hair has been embellished with pen, noticeable when compared to other versions of the silhouette seen in DL*006558.01 and DL*006558.02.
