"Martha Washington Greene (Mrs. John Nightingale)" is a notable miniature portrait by the American painter Edward Greene Malbone, who is widely regarded as one of the preeminent American miniaturists of the 18th century. The portrait, executed in watercolor on ivory, is a testament to Malbone's skill in capturing the delicate features and refined elegance of his subjects. It depicts Martha Washington Greene, the wife of John Nightingale, and showcases Malbone's ability to imbue his portraits with a sense of personality and depth that belies their small scale.

Edward Greene Malbone, born in 1777 in Newport, Rhode Island, was a prolific artist despite his brief career, cut short by his untimely death at the age of 29. He painted in various cities along the Eastern Seaboard, including Providence, Boston, New York, and Charleston. Malbone's work is characterized by its exquisite detail, luminous color palette, and the subtle rendering of textures in clothing and accessories, which he achieved through his mastery of the miniature format.

The portrait of Martha Washington Greene is a fine example of Malbone's work from his mature period and is often cited for its refined aesthetic and the sitter's genteel poise. The miniature would have been commissioned as a personal keepsake or a token of affection, a common practice among the American gentry of the time. Malbone's portraits are highly sought after by collectors and are held in the collections of many prestigious institutions, serving as important artifacts of American cultural and artistic heritage from the Federal period.

The exact date of the portrait's creation is not specified, but it is likely to have been produced during the height of Malbone's career, between the late 1790s and his death in 1807. The miniature is an important piece within the oeuvre of Malbone's work and contributes to the understanding of the social and artistic milieu of post-Revolutionary America.
