Jacob Eichholtz (1776–1842) was an American painter renowned for his portraiture during the early 19th century. Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Eichholtz initially trained as a coppersmith before transitioning to painting, a field in which he would leave a significant legacy. His work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence and personality of his subjects with a refined sense of realism. Eichholtz's portraits often reflect the social and cultural milieu of his time, providing a window into the lives of early American citizens.

Eichholtz's journey into the world of art was somewhat unconventional. He was largely self-taught, although he did receive some guidance from the prominent American portraitist Thomas Sully. This mentorship helped Eichholtz refine his technique and expand his artistic repertoire. Over his career, Eichholtz produced over 800 portraits, a testament to his prolific nature and the high demand for his work. His subjects ranged from prominent political figures and wealthy patrons to ordinary citizens, each rendered with a distinct sense of individuality and character.

The artist's style evolved over time, initially influenced by the neoclassical tradition but gradually incorporating elements of Romanticism. Eichholtz's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression, set his work apart from many of his contemporaries. His portraits are not merely representations of physical appearance but are imbued with a sense of the sitter's inner life and personality.

Eichholtz's contributions to American art have been recognized posthumously, with his works held in various esteemed collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His legacy endures as an important figure in the development of American portraiture, bridging the gap between the early colonial style and the more sophisticated techniques that would come to define 19th-century American art.
