About the Item

Identity of the sitter ( Dr.Jostan Osgood 1742-1812) given on an old label on back. Unique to Brewsters' paintings is an air of silence and stillness. He also captures the spirit and character of his sitters. The pink and white against the black and brown is very expressive. Hands/fingers thick and cylindrical. Most itinerate paintings can only be identified as to the artist on stylistic grounds, but it's a worthwhile pursuit for that small group whose paintings stand as art in themselves.
