Alonzo Chappel
Alonzo Chappel is represented here by a single sheet, George Washington: Design for an Engraving, worked in oil on paper mounted on paper and unstretched canvas. The medium points to a preparatory or design function, made with oil paints rather than a printmaking technique, in a period when engraved portraits of national figures circulated widely. The collection holds this one item, dated 1860, with impressions up to that year.
