| A painter in the Boston area known for his ornamental work, lithography, portrait and landscape painting, John Penniman has been described as "perhaps the most skilled, inventive and versatile ornamental artist and draftsman of his time in America." ("Antiques" magazine, July 1981). As a portrait painter, he did realistic canvases that reflected the influence of Gilbert Stuart whom he knew in Boston. One of his early paintings, circa 1796, is a self portrait, and another portrait painting, (showing 500 of 4121 characters). |
