About the Item

Unsigned. Attributed to the American Itinerate Painter Sheldon Peck on stylistic grounds. The sharp delineation of facial shadows and the familiar 'fluer de lee' signature typically painted in the lace. A rich use colors and greys- the green drapery in this case against plenty of black, white and grey. Which the red 'ribbon' line that outlines the book counters and highlights beautifully. The painting is in a later frame and has been re-lined.

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...
