Oil on wood. Inscribed: "Painted by James Peale in the 69th year
of his age 1819". J.Peale started out his painting career doing
miniatures on ivory and later turned to still life painting. The
miniature painting caused him to lose his eyesight which made him
turn to landscape painting. This is believed to be one of his last
paintings. |
