"Cornelius Allerton 1821-22" is a portrait painting by Ammi Phillips, an American itinerant painter known for his work in the folk art style, particularly for his portraits from the early 19th century. Painted between 1821 and 1822, this artwork is a representation of Cornelius Allerton, a young boy whose identity, along with the painting's provenance, has been pieced together through historical and stylistic analysis.

Ammi Phillips (1788–1865) was active during a period when professional portraitists traveled from town to town seeking commissions from patrons who desired to immortalize themselves or their family members. Phillips' work is characterized by its distinctive style, featuring flat areas of color, stylized forms, and a lack of concern for strict anatomical accuracy, which was typical of folk artists of his time. His portraits are now highly regarded for their naive charm and contribution to the American folk art tradition.

The "Cornelius Allerton 1821-22" portrait is significant as it falls within Phillips' "border period," a time when the artist was transitioning from his earlier, more primitive style to a slightly more sophisticated approach. This period is marked by a greater attention to detail and a softer approach to facial features. The painting depicts young Cornelius in a frontal pose, dressed in clothing indicative of his family's social status, and is notable for its use of color and the direct gaze of the subject, which engages the viewer.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Phillips that provides insight into the cultural and social history of the United States' Northeastern region during the early 19th century. As with many of Phillips' portraits, "Cornelius Allerton 1821-22" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, offering a window into the era's fashion, societal norms, and the practice of itinerant painting.

Today, Ammi Phillips' work is part of important folk art collections in museums and is studied for its contribution to American art history. "Cornelius Allerton 1821-22" remains a testament to Phillips' skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and his role in the development of American folk portraiture.
