Jonas Welch Holman "Portrait of a Young Man Writing with a Quill"
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.

Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait Painting, circa 1840
By Ammi Phillips
Located in Vero Beach, FL
Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840
We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865).
The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face.
The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting.
Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle.
From the New England estate of the renowned Folk Art Collector and scholar, John Bauer...
