Painting Description
"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin (Sarah Morris)" is a distinguished double portrait painted by the renowned American artist John Singleton Copley in 1773. This artwork is a significant example of Copley's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects, as well as his ability to convey the social and political context of the time. The painting depicts Thomas Mifflin, a prominent Philadelphia merchant and politician, and his wife, Sarah Morris, who was also an influential figure in her own right.
Thomas Mifflin was an important figure in American history, serving as a delegate to the Continental Congress, a major general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and later as the President of the Continental Congress and the first Governor of Pennsylvania. His wife, Sarah Morris, was known for her intelligence, charm, and active role in the social and political circles of Philadelphia.
In the portrait, Thomas Mifflin is shown seated, holding a book, which signifies his intellectual pursuits and his role as a statesman. Sarah Morris is depicted standing beside him, engaged in the act of weaving, which symbolizes the American colonial boycott of British goods and the promotion of domestic industry. This act of weaving also highlights her support for the revolutionary cause and her involvement in the political movement of the time.
Copley's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the fabrics, textures, and the expressions of the sitters. The composition and the interplay of light and shadow demonstrate his mastery of the portrait genre. The painting not only serves as a testament to the personal and political partnership of Thomas and Sarah Mifflin but also reflects the broader cultural and historical context of pre-revolutionary America.
Today, "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin (Sarah Morris)" is housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. The portrait remains an important work in the study of American art and history, offering insights into the lives and contributions of two key figures in the nation's founding era.
