Thomas Sully

Thomas Sully is represented in this archive by a single miniature painted in watercolor on ivory, a format well suited to the intimate portrait subjects he favored. The piece, Madame Jerome Bonaparte (Elizabeth Patterson), belongs to the early years of the nineteenth century, with the holdings dated 1805. This compact selection offers a focused glimpse of Sully's portraiture in miniature rather than a broad survey of his career.
