Ammi Phillips Attributed Portrait of a Gentleman Oil

About the Item

Ammi Phillips (American, 1788-1865) attributed oil painting on canvas, circa 1835-1840, depicting the portrait of a brown-haired gentleman, his left arm resting on a stack of books or ledgers. 30" H x 25.25" W. Provenance: From a 240 East 15th Street estate. Note: The offered lot by Ammi Phillips bears marked similarity to the works of the artist's later "Kent Limner" period of 1835-1840, particularly the images of gentlemen painted in the area of Lime Rock and Litchfield, Connecticut. It is of note that this composition is in reverse, which may have been a request of the unknown sitter. (cf. David R. Allaway, "My People: The Works of Ammi Phillips", vol. 1, pps. 72-73, figs. 363-367.)

  • 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...
