James I Sharples, an English portrait artist active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is renowned for his meticulous and expressive pastel portraits. Among his notable works are "Two Portraits," which exemplify his skill in capturing the essence and character of his subjects. Sharples, who emigrated to the United States in the 1790s, became well-known for his portraits of prominent American figures, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. His ability to convey the personality and stature of his sitters through delicate pastel strokes and keen attention to detail has earned him a distinguished place in the history of portraiture.

The "Two Portraits" by James I Sharples are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical context. These works reflect the cultural and social milieu of the period, providing insight into the lives and appearances of influential individuals of the time. Sharples' portraits are characterized by their lifelike quality, achieved through his adept use of light and shadow, as well as his precise rendering of facial features and expressions. His technique involved building up layers of pastel to create depth and texture, resulting in portraits that are both realistic and imbued with a sense of immediacy.

Sharples' legacy is further cemented by the fact that his family, including his wife Ellen Wallace Sharples and son Felix Thomas Sharples, also became accomplished portrait artists. Together, they contributed to the rich tradition of portraiture in both England and America. The "Two Portraits" stand as a testament to James I Sharples' artistic prowess and his ability to capture the spirit of his era through the medium of pastel.
