"Isaac Josiah and William Mulford Hand" is a portrait painting by William Matthew Prior, an American artist known for his work in the folk art style, particularly for his portraits. The painting, created in 1840, depicts two young brothers, Isaac Josiah Hand and William Mulford Hand, in a double portrait, which was a common practice for family members during the 19th century. William Matthew Prior (1806–1873) was a notable artist of the era who offered more affordable portraiture for those who could not typically afford the luxury of having their likenesses captured.

In the painting, the Hand brothers are portrayed with an attention to detail that captures their youthful features and the fashion of the time. The artist's use of color and composition reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the period, as well as Prior's skill in creating accessible yet poignant works of art. The portrait is characterized by its straightforward representation, with the subjects often looking directly at the viewer, a hallmark of Prior's portrait style.

As with many of Prior's works, "Isaac Josiah and William Mulford Hand" exemplifies the itinerant artist's ability to balance the formality of portraiture with a more naive, folk art quality. This painting is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the clothing, hairstyles, and cultural context of American children in the early 19th century.

The painting is part of the collection of the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, which houses one of the most important collections of folk art in the United States. "Isaac Josiah and William Mulford Hand" is often highlighted in discussions of Prior's work and the broader genre of American folk portraiture.
