About the Item
Original Gilbert Stuart oil painting portrait of Henrietta Hillegas (Mrs. Joseph Anthony), ca. 1796
Exquisite portrait by the American painter Gilbert Stuart, (1755-1828). We believe this original painting is a preliminary study of the prominent and wealthy society woman, Henrietta Hillegas (Mrs. Joseph Anthony) from Philadelphia. Henrietta’s father made his fortune in sugar refining and iron manufacturing and served as the first treasurer of the United States. The final portrait painting of Henrietta Hillegas is included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Stuart’s legacy is defined by the representation of human likeness and character, bringing his artistic greatness to each of his works, including his incisive portraits of George Washington. He was quite prolific, executing more than 1100 portraits. In his time he was considered to be the nation’s leading portrait painter. Like other artists of his caliber, he is remembered for his masterpieces, despite a pattern of failing to finish works that bored him. In disregard of this, he commanded high prices. Stuart moved to Philadelphia in 1795 where he garnered commissions from the rich and famous in order to use their influence to requisite introductions to President, George Washington.

Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840
We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865).
The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face.
The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting.

Jean Antoine Watteau, Circle of, 18th Century Large Old Master Painting, France
By Jean-Antoine Watteau
Located in Vero Beach, FL
Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) circle of. 18th century old master painting, France.
With great pride we offer an extremely rare masterpiece from the 18th century, France. This painting is unsigned as most of his works. It has no provenance, but carries with it all the earmarks of the great Rococo style school of Watteau. It pictures one of his famous outdoor parties with a group of frolicking young people. In the background is a reference to a swing, a favored subject in his paintings. The composition of the painting, colors, brushstrokes (especially in the fabric) is clearly Watteau’s studio. This large 18th century canvas...
