Painting Description
"Mrs. Roger Morris (Mary Philipse)" is a portrait painting by the prominent American colonial era artist John Singleton Copley. Painted in 1771, the work depicts Mary Philipse Morris, one of the most noted beauties of her day and a member of a wealthy and influential New York family. She was the wife of Roger Morris, a British military officer, and the subject of some historical speculation due to her rumored prior romantic involvement with George Washington before her marriage.
The painting is a fine example of Copley's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the grace and elegance of his sitters, as well as his meticulous attention to the details of their attire and surroundings. In this portrait, Mary Philipse Morris is dressed in a sumptuous gown, adorned with pearls and lace, and seated in a luxurious setting that reflects her social status. Her pose and expression exude a sense of refined composure and aristocratic poise, which was characteristic of Copley's style and typical of the colonial elite.
The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. As a member of the Philipse family, Mary was part of a loyalist faction during the American Revolutionary War. The Morris family's loyalty to the British Crown led to the confiscation of their property after the war, and they eventually left America for England. The portrait thus serves as a reminder of the complex allegiances and social dynamics in pre-revolutionary America.
"Mrs. Roger Morris (Mary Philipse)" is held in the collection of the New-York Historical Society, which acquired it in 1863. The painting is an important piece within the society's extensive art collection and continues to be an object of study for scholars interested in American art, colonial history, and the social elite of the period.
