An itinerant portrait painter, Susannah Paine was active in New England, especially Rhode Island and Maine. Noted for appealing detail of her subjects such as ornate dress and coiled hair dos, she painted primarily with oil on wood but did an occasional pastel portrait.
In those days, the mid 19th century, it was very unusual for a woman to be an itinerant painter because a female traveling alone aroused suspicion. Susanna Paine wrote a biography, Roses and Thorns, pub (showing 500 of 3208 characters). |
