Portrait Of A Gentleman (6) 1847 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Moses B. Russells sitter adopts a casual pose, rather than appearing to be bolt upright, as is the case in so many miniature portraits. The young mans face is equally relaxed, conveying a sense of confidence and ease. The painter subtly emphasized the assertive character of his subject by revealing a boldly striped vest beneath a somber black coat. | Unrated | Anonymous | |
Portrait Of A Gentleman (5) 1842 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Moses B. Russell faithfully recorded the high cheekbones, huge gray eyes, and thick, wavy hair of this unidentified young man. As was the case of miniatures painted in this period, the painter gave all his effort to capturing the likeness of his sitter, subordinating the background and costume to the romanticized face. | Unrated | Anonymous | |
