 | Jonathan Jones Wheeler 1812 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Jonathan Jones Wheeler (1792-1846) was born in Philadelphia, the son of Samuel Wheeler and Elizabeth Jones. His miniature portrait shows a young man brimming with confidence. The frame, which has an inner band resembling a traditional locket, allows the painting to be hung on a wall rather than worn on the body, evidence of the changing role of... | GA | Anonymous |
 | Melons And Morning Glories 1813 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Raphaelle Peale's father, Charles Willson Peale, urged his son to paint portraits instead of still lifes, which brought an artist less prestige and fewer commissions. But still lifes suited Raphaelle, who also worked as a taxidermist.

 | Portrait Of A Gentleman (3) ca. 1805 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | This man’s elegantly knotted tie clearly shows Raphaelle Peale’s deft brushwork.

 | Portrait Of A Gentleman With Initials G. D. ca. 1805 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | The intertwined initials “GD” on the back of this locket are the only clue to the gentleman’s identity. His hair reflects the change at the end of the eighteenth century, when many younger men rejected wigs in favor of natural hair. The short top and curled sides of this sitter’s hair were styled to accommodate a top hat. | GA | Anonymous |
