William Johnston

William Johnston is represented here by two oil on canvas paintings, placing him within the portraiture tradition of his era. The pair of sheets associated with the Met's records date to 1762, and the subjects are drawn from named sitters, as the titles Jacob Hurd and Mrs. Jacob Hurd and Child indicate. The collection accordingly holds two paintings in oil, with impressions up to 1762 where later printings are concerned. Details of Johnston's origins and nationality are not recorded in the source data.
