"Comfort Starr Mygatt and His Daughter Lucy" is a notable portrait by the American artist John Brewster Jr. (1766–1854), who was one of the most prominent itinerant portrait painters of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Brewster, who was deaf from birth, developed a unique style that is characterized by its serene and sensitive depiction of subjects, often utilizing clear, light-filled colors and a focus on the eyes.

The painting, created circa 1799, captures the likeness of Comfort Starr Mygatt, a prominent figure in Danbury, Connecticut, alongside his daughter Lucy. Mygatt, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, is depicted in a dignified pose, wearing a dark suit that was typical of the period's fashion. His daughter, Lucy, is portrayed seated beside him, suggesting the closeness of their relationship. The composition of the painting, with its attention to the sitters' expressions and the details of their clothing, is reflective of Brewster's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the personalities and social status of his subjects.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the clothing, interior design, and familial relationships of the Federal period in the United States. As with many of Brewster's works, "Comfort Starr Mygatt and His Daughter Lucy" is appreciated for its quiet elegance and the window it offers into the lives of early American citizens.

The painting is part of the collection of the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York, where it is displayed and contributes to the understanding of American folk art and portraiture. Brewster's work, including this painting, has been the subject of scholarly research and exhibitions, highlighting his contributions to American art despite the challenges he faced due to his deafness.
