About the piece
This 1822 family portrait, attributed to J. H., captures Abraham Clark and his children in an endearing folk art style. Set within a dark, wooded landscape, the children are depicted with charming details, including one holding a hen and another a book, exemplifying the earnest character of early American portraiture.
