The artist painted the background of this miniature in a vignette, so that the color fades into the background. When the ivory is viewed without its frame, the smudgy edges of the paint are revealed.

Portrait Of A Man

1867
watercolor on ivory
4 3/4 x 3 3/4 in. (12.0 x 9.5 cm)

Smithsonian American Art Museum

Washington, D.C.

notes
This elegantly dressed young man sat for this miniature on January 1, 1867. The artist used the edges of the ivory as a palette, and when the painting is viewed without its frame, you can see all the test strokes of paint. Conservation of this miniature was made possible through a generous grant provided by the Smithsonian Womens Committee.
