About the piece
Painted in 1776 by the renowned American artist Charles Willson Peale, this masterwork depicts Mrs. James Smith alongside her grandson. The composition highlights the intimate bond between generations as they pore over a book, rendered with the luminous skin tones and rich textures characteristic of Peale's colonial-era portraits.
