About the piece
This 1812 oil painting by Joshua Johnson, one of the earliest known professional African American portraitists, captures John Jacob Anderson and his two sons, John and Edward. The work is characteristic of Johnson's distinctive style, featuring stiff but charming poses, meticulous attention to lace and fabric details, and a dark, atmospheric palette contrasted by the bright blue of the children's attire.
