M.B. Russell (Moses B. Russell, American, 1809–1884)
Signed & Inscribed, “M.B. Russell Pinxt. N. York, 1857”
Oil on canvas • Approx. 35.5″ × 40.5″ in.
Description
A refined mid-19th-century portrait capturing the elegance and reserve of a New York lady of society during America’s antebellum era. Known largely for his acclaimed portrait miniatures, Moses B. Russell here demonstrates his confident brushwork and careful attention to facial detail at large scale. Her composed expression contrasts beautifully with the rich, shadowed backdrop and dark gown, making this a powerful focal-point piece in both historical collections and modern interiors.
Artist
Moses B. Russell was an active portraitist in Boston and New York, exhibiting at the Boston Athenaeum and recognized for his precise likenesses. Signed and dated oils of this scale are uncommon in the market and desirable to collectors of early American art.
