Mrs. Jerathmael Bowers

Artist: John Singleton Copley (American, 1738–1815)

Date: ca. 1763

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Mary Sherburne (1735–1799) was the daughter of Joseph Sherburne by his marriage to Mary Watson in 1734. As her father's sole heir, she received a substantial fortune. In 1763, she married Jerathmael Bowers, a wealthy and prominent Quaker living in Swansea, Massachusetts. They had one son and three daughters. This portrait is based on a British mezzotint by James McArdell, after a portrait of Lady Caroline Russell painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1759. Copley followed this model with precision, substituting the face of the sitter for that of Lady Russell. Tradition has it that the portrait was painted about the time of the sitter's marriage in 1763. The frame of the painting is thought to be the original.

Honestly Rutledge looks so sweaty throughout 1776 (and within good reason because they had a WHOLE SONG about how hot it was) BUT

I have to realize that it’s probably because he was getting all hot and bothered under the collar for Lyman Hall….���‍💨

OUTFIT UPDATE!!!!

i cannot express how excited ive been for this

First up is Rachel "Hellhound" Bitch!

a dark grey number, seemingly going undied due to her inability to properly communicate slash her apparent disinterest in fashion!

the leggings are WOVEN?!?!

i might kill her

she went out of her way to sacrifice the aesthetic push of the garment for modality and functionality. thats the handiwork of a good craftsman, knowing what your client is actually after.

taylor would do really well for herself if she retired and became a cape couturier, she understands how to define clear, recognisable visuals, she has an eye for maximising function and she is creative and resourceful enough to work around most logistical problems

i hope she and parian get along well

SHATTERBIRD?????

they need to have killed her by now, or left her with the protectorate, keeping her around is the worst idea i can think of

anyway back to fashion

:(

its a good fit but im sad she didnt get to update her look like the fashion gworl she is

unbelievably vague, disappointing. hows his mask?

a nice change, more refined, reflects his sisters costume, a nice upgrade.

>:(

so we're only getting a meaningful upgrade with rachels huh

???

sorry taylor? something to share with the class?

a costume update we should be aware of???

The hardest and best reply to the cry of "cultural appropriation" from white people I've ever seen:

(Found on this beautiful video of a black costumer of South African heritage sewing a traditional Pedi/Tsonga gown)

Epes Sargent

Artist: John Singleton Copley (American, 1738-1815)

Date: c. 1760

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

John Singleton Copley, America's most important colonial painter, was born in Boston of Irish parents. In 1748 Copley's widowed mother married Peter Pelham, a painter and engraver. Copley's stepfather probably gave him some art lessons but died when Copley was only 13. In later years the painter claimed he was self–taught.

Copley, who was extremely observant, presumably learned about art largely by watching other English–trained painters who were working in the New World and by studying engravings imported from Europe. Much more important was his innate ability to record details objectively and to suggest character. Gilbert Stuart would later say of the uncompromising realism in Copley's Epes Sargent, "Prick that hand and blood will spurt forth."

About 70 years old when he posed for Copley, Sargent had dropped out of Harvard College to enter business in his native Gloucester. After the death of his first wife, this prosperous merchant and shipowner married a rich widow from Salem. Copley's portrayal shows him nonchalantly leaning on a marble pedestal as a symbol of prestige; since carved stone monuments were rather rare in the colonies, this imaginary device must be borrowed from European prints of potentates.

Such penetrating likenesses made Copley the best–paid artist in colonial America. By shipping some of his canvases to London for criticism, Copley soon became known in England.

Its good that Cathy has publicly apologized for the Peacock dress affair but it's sad that she's not the only one and this type of defensive behavior from white costumers is actually really common, and you can see that in how many people are trying to stroke her ego while she's apologizing for her conduct.
