About the Item
Through personal communications with Emily Esser and recently published scholarship by her, (December 2, 2024) "The Chapbook Children (Jonas Welch Holman, Lyman Parks, and Dean Robert Peckham)" solidly attributes our painting (as #12) to Jonas Welch Holman (1809-1888).
I particularly enjoy the wide 'V's' that descend from the gentleman's upper lip down to the fob on his vest, and the almost straight diagonal line of the sitters left shoulder, parallel with the quill emphasizes the sitters nose bridge.
