About the piece
Painted in 1828, this refined portrait depicts Mrs. William Gordon Ver Planck and her young son, Samuel Hopkins Ver Planck. The work exemplifies the precision of early 19th-century American portraiture, featuring a striking lapis blue shawl that provides a vibrant counterpoint to the soft whites and warm flesh tones of the figures. It offers a sophisticated window into the domestic elegance of the era.
