Important information: We do our best to depict the products as accurately as it is possible and to showcase them visually. Nevertheless, the colors of the printing material, as well as the imprint can diverge marginally from the representation on the device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the nature of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Given that all art reproductions are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be minor deviations in the size and exact position of the motif.

General description as provided by Art Institute Chicago website (© - by Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)

As the wealth and population of western New England increased, individuals wished to record their success by preserving their own or their family members’ likenesses for posterity. With this increased demand, talented sign painters such as Ammi Phillips saw new opportunities. Phillips taught himself to be a limner—a painter of portraits. By 1811 he had learned painting techniques from other Connecticut limners, who executed full-length, three-quarter, and bust portraits on canvas, wood, and glass. Phillips began to use conventional poses adopted from European prints and became one of the most successful portraitists of the middle and upper classes in rural New England, plying his trade in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
