Rebecca Pritchard Mills (Mrs. William Mills) and Her Daughter Eliza Shrewsbury (1794-96). James Earl (American, 1761-1796). Oil on canvas. Winterthur Museum.James Earl adopted contemporary modes in English painting. Although all his portraits capture a sense of life and character through facial expression, those he painted of women are slightly idealized. His patrons admired him for “giving life to the eye, and expression of every feature” and for his facility at painting drapery. -- source link
