About the Item
F. Carbonara was an Italian miniature portrait artist active in the early 19th century. There is an example by him at the metropolitan museum.
• Extremely fine brushwork in the face and hair
• A carefully modelled interior with classical drapery and architectural columns
• The sitter placed in a literate or professional setting (books, papers, table)
• Use of strong, saturated colours in fabrics and upholstery
• An oval composition often set into a rich gilt mount
Signed "Carbonara 1808", the sitter appears to be a gentleman of professional or scholarly standing. Accompanying family information suggests a possible connection to Gabriel Verplanck Ludlow (1768–1825), a distinguished New York lawyer and Master of the Court of Chancery.
Gabriel Verplanck Ludlow (1768–1825) was a prominent American lawyer and Master of the Court of Chancery for New York. He was a member of the influential Ludlow family of New York, a wealthy Loyalist family during the American Revolution.
Life and Career.
Birth and Family: Born in New York City in 1768, he was the son of Colonel Gabriel George Ludlow, a staunch Loyalist and the first mayor of Saint John, New Brunswick, and his wife, Anne Verplanck.
Profession: Gabriel Verplanck Ludlow pursued a career in law, becoming a respected counselor-at-law and holding the important position of Master of the Court of Chancery for New York.
Marriage and Children: In 1798, he married Elizabeth A. Hunter (1781–1864). They had four children:
Gabriel Augustus Ludlow
Robert Henry Ludlow
Ann Eliza Gabriella Ludlow (Lewis)
Edward Hunter Ludlow, who himself became a prominent figure in New York real estate.
