About the piece
Painted circa 1836, this exceptional portrait by American folk artist Ammi Phillips depicts a young boy dressed in a fashionable dark green suit with a prominent white ruffled collar. The composition is rich with details characteristic of the era, including a red primer held in the boy's hand, a ripe peach on the table, and a small dog resting at his feet against a decorative patterned carpet.
