ANTIQUE ANSON DICKINSON RARE Self Portrait Oil Painting Of Anna Marie Schieffelin 1789-1843! Anna was the wife of Benjamin Ferris.

About The Artist:
Born in Milton, Connecticut, Anson Dickinson apprenticed to a silversmith in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1796, and first advertised as an artist in the local press in 1802. The following year he began keeping a detailed record book (Connecticut Historical Society). His more than fifteen hundred commissions reveal that he traveled widely along the East Coast but worked mainly in Connecticut and New York City, where this portrait was painted. On September 8, 1808, Dickinson documented in his account book that he painted portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris to celebrate their marriage.

Luminous and beautiful, Anna Maria Ferris gazes winsomely up at the viewer. This intimate oval portrait is a rare example of Dickinson’s early work, displaying an airy, romantic sensibility. Anna Maria was the only daughter of Jacob Schieffelin III, a successful Manhattan drug wholesaler and manufacturer, and Hanna Lawrence, a talented poet with strong anti-slavery convictions. Her brother, Richard Lawrence Schieffelin, was the business and law partner of her husband. The couple eventually had eight children, only one of whom appears to have survived to adulthood.
