Text Appearing Before Image:
Is Interesting forits tonal quality, texture, and design. The harsh colouring,with high lights of chalky white and a strange raw blue whichdetract from many of his paintings. Is less observable in thispicture, and gives place to a rich and sombre colour schemeof warm browns and deep blacks admirably suited to the gentleand somewhat melancholy expression of the young New Englandclergyman. There Is a woodenness of effect In the positionof the figure and In the arrangement of the folds In the velvetcoat, but this slight stiffness seems actually to add to the dis-tinction of the portrait, lending It a dignity which accords withthe formality of manner, even of thought, characteristic of theperiod. Oil on canvas, 50 inches by 40 inches Purchased from the bequest of Mrs. Hester Nezvton Wetherell. 97
Text Appearing After Image:
PORTRAIT OF COLONEL CHARLES PETTITCHARLES WILLSON PEALE 98 CHARLES WILLSOX PEALE American, 1741-1S27PORlRAir OF COLONKL CHARLKS Pl-.lTrr Charles \\ illson Peale was a painter with a dctinitc, obviousconception of his sitter and a technical method equally convinc-ing. The portrait of Colonel Pettit is a conscientious represen-tation of the subject. In spite of hardness of line and surface, thetechnique is adequate—this is due more to painstaking carethan to facility with the brush. The drawing is careful, thecomposition good, the colour restrained. The prevailing toneis grey. The coat and waistcoat are a pale olive green and thecurtain is plum colour against a grey background. 99
