American miniatures - so very different from those in Britain and Europe - at their best, there were none better. Heiress Susan Bayard - she and her sister were known as 'The Beautiful Bayards'- was the daughter of fabulously wealthy New York merchant William Bayard. In 1807, Susan literally married the boy next door, Benjamin Woolsey Rogers. She documented her marriage with this miniature by emerging American master, 27 year old Anson Dickinson. Like most American miniaturists of the Federal period, Dickinson received minimal instruction, teaching himself as he worked. His most ambitious portrait to date, Dickinson employed a rectangular format which was virtually unknown in America at the time. Dickinson would work for 48 years, leaving an account book recording almost 2000 miniatures. But in 1807, this important commission from the Beautiful Bayard would be his artistic game-changer. #PortraitMiniature #PortraitMiniatures #HistoricArt #MiniaturePortrait #AmericanArt #AmericanPortraitMiniature #elleshushan #AmericanPortraiture #AnsonDickinson #AmericanPortrait
