Painting Description
"Portrait of Benjamin Franklin" is an oil painting created by Henry Singleton in the late 18th century. The image is considered to be an iconic representation of Franklin, one of the pivotal figures in the American Revolution and subsequent founding of the United States.
Henry Singleton (1766–1839) was an English painter and miniaturist, who was recognized for his ability to capture detailed and expressively real likenesses. Singleton was highly sought after for his ability to paint portraits, particularly those of historical figures.
In "Portrait of Benjamin Franklin", Singleton portrays Franklin in his latter years, sunken into contemplation and poised with a quill in hand, suggesting his role as a philosopher, scientist, inventor, and writer. He is lavishly dressed, underlining his status as a diplomatic representative overseas. Some of Singleton's portraits of Franklin are inspired by Joseph Siffred Duplessis's earlier portrayals, considered among the most faithful likenesses of the American polymath.
Singleton's work contributes heavily towards our collective visual memory of Franklin. However, the precise historical circumstances under which "Portrait of Benjamin Franklin" was produced are largely unknown, opening the door for future research and scholarship on this work and on Singleton's overall oeuvre.
