Painting Description
"Colonel John Moore And His Wife Frances Lambert Moore Of New York" is a notable double portrait created by Henrietta Johnston, an early American pastelist and one of the first professional female artists in the American colonies. Painted around 1725, this work exemplifies Johnston's adept skill in pastel, a medium that was relatively rare in the American colonies at the time. The portrait features Colonel John Moore, a prominent figure in New York society, and his wife, Frances Lambert Moore, capturing their likenesses with a sense of intimacy and realism that was characteristic of Johnston's style.
Henrietta Johnston, originally from Ireland, emigrated to America in the early 18th century and settled in Charleston, South Carolina. She is often credited with being the first female artist in America to work professionally, and her portraits are among the earliest examples of pastel work in the colonies. Johnston's technique involved the use of soft pastels on paper, which allowed her to achieve delicate color transitions and fine details, particularly in the depiction of fabrics and facial features.
The double portrait of Colonel John Moore and Frances Lambert Moore is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It provides a glimpse into the lives of the colonial elite and reflects the social and cultural milieu of early 18th-century New York. The Moores were influential figures, and their portrayal by Johnston underscores their status and the importance of portraiture as a means of asserting identity and legacy during this period.
Johnston's work, including this double portrait, is valued for its contribution to the early American art scene and its documentation of colonial American society. Her portraits are held in various collections, and they continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance.
