About the piece
This 1840 portrait by Margaret Maclay Bogardus captures Paul Joseph Revere as a child, holding a traditional hoop and stick toy. The young sitter's solemn expression and dark attire contrast beautifully with the soft landscape and architectural elements in the background, characteristic of the era's miniature painting tradition.
