EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a framed color drawing on grey paper, showcasing the half-length portrait of James Sharples Senior. Created in 1802 by his son, James Sharples Junior, this pastel artwork is currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. James Sharples Senior was a renowned artist from Bristol who lived between circa 1751 and 1811. The portrait depicts him in profile, offering an intimate glimpse into his character and artistic prowess. Notably, Sharples Senior spent two periods of his career (1793-1801 & 1809-1811) in the newly independent United States of America, where he thrived by capturing prominent figures through his drawings. Tragically, the talented artist passed away in New York on February 26th, 1811. His legacy lives on through this piece that showcases both his skill as an artist and his contribution to art history. This particular print was acquired by Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives in 1931. It serves as a testament to James Sharples Senior's enduring influence and provides viewers with a window into the world of portraiture during the early nineteenth century.
