This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  An itinerant painter who was born in Massachusetts, Joseph Chandler was
a typical folk artist who traveled from place to place painting
portraits, but unlike many of them who remained anonymous, he signed
and dated his paintings on the backs of the canvases. He also
painted an occasional still life and landscape.
He was
especially skilled with child portraits in that he captured the
awkwardness of his sitters and often included toys and pets and a
landscape in the background--something he did not do with his adult
subjects. | |
Biography from Northeast Auctions:
| Joseph Chandler was born in South Hadley, Massachusetts, where his family owned
a small farm. After a brief apprenticeship with a cabinetmaker, he
studied painting in Albany, New York between the years 1827-1832.
Most
of his known paintings date from 1837-1852, a period when he traveled
parts of the Connecticut River Valley, particularly northwestern
Massachusetts, working as an itinerant painter.
