"Rev. Joseph Sewall" is a distinguished portrait painted by the renowned Scottish-American artist John Smibert. Created in the early 18th century, this work captures the likeness of Reverend Joseph Sewall, a prominent figure in colonial American religious history. Sewall, born in 1688, was a significant Puritan minister in Boston, Massachusetts, and served as the pastor of the Old South Church for over five decades. His tenure and influence were marked by his devout adherence to Puritan theology and his role in the Great Awakening, a series of religious revivals that swept through the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s.

John Smibert, who emigrated to America in 1728, is often credited with bringing European artistic techniques and sensibilities to the New World. His portrait of Rev. Joseph Sewall is a testament to his skill in capturing not only the physical likeness of his subjects but also their social and spiritual stature. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate folds of Sewall's clerical robes to the thoughtful expression on his face, which conveys a sense of piety and intellectual rigor.

The portrait holds historical significance as it provides a visual connection to a key figure in early American religious life and offers insight into the artistic landscape of the period. Smibert's work, including this portrait, played a crucial role in the development of American portraiture, influencing subsequent generations of artists. Today, "Rev. Joseph Sewall" by John Smibert is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the cultural and historical narrative of colonial America.
