About the piece
Painted in 1807 by Joshua Johnson, celebrated as the first African American professional portraitist, 'The Westwood Children' captures a sense of early American dignity and charm. The three brothers are depicted in striking emerald green suits with ruffled white collars, standing in a simplified interior. The work is rich with symbolic details of the era, including a basket of garden roses and a hunting dog, all rendered in Johnson’s distinctive, meticulously flat folk art style.
