About the Item

An early portrait of a boy and his dog, circa 1850, the painting depicting a young bow with dog, wearing an emerald green jacket interior scene with his hoop and rod in hand, 36 inches high, 29 inches wide in an early giltwood frame. The painting has been cleaned and restretched. Robert Street was born in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. His grandfather, John Street, was an English immigrant. His family was wealthy, but he was mistakenly omitted from his father's will and did not receive the inheritance that was due him as the eldest son. His fourth son, also named John, was Robert's father. Little is known about the artist's early training; his first entry into the art community was his exhibition of The Wood Gatherer at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1815. He continued to exhibit at the Academy until 1861.
