Ralph Earl's contemporaries

Elijah Boardman, by Ralph Earl, 1789
The image shows the upper half of a seated woman facing forward. She has her hands clasped together in front of her. The woman appears calm with visible signs of age, including a few wrinkles on her face. She wears a white bonnet with a frilled edge tied under her chin, a dark shawl over a white high-collared blouse, and sits on a red chair with a gold trim. A red book and a handkerchief are on the surface next to her. The background transitions from deep red to brown tones.
Mrs. Jerathmael Bowers, by John Singleton Copley, ca. 1763
George Washington, by Charles Peale Polk, ca. 1790
Mrs. John Winthrop, by John Singleton Copley, 1773
