| A limner working in the vicinity of Albany and Kingston, New York, Pieter Vanderlyn was a portrait painter whose work is said to "overshadow the work of his contemporaries" because of characteristic "neatness, simplicity and economy of expression". (Black 41). Although the faces and figures are two-dimensional, he is credited with a richness of facial features that are divided down the middle from eyebrow to mouth. The hands tend to be large with carefully drawn fingers, and the paint is applied (showing 500 of 1773 characters). |
