EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Elizabeth Moffatt Sherburne, a woman of grace and elegance in colonial America. Painted by John Greenwood around 1750, this oil on canvas print showcases Elizabeth standing amidst a picturesque garden, surrounded by nature's beauty. Dressed in a fashionable gown that reflects her status as the second wife of John Sherburne, Elizabeth exudes confidence and sophistication. Her serene expression suggests both intelligence and warmth, making it clear why she was such an admired figure in early American society. The artist's use of vibrant colors brings the scene to life, with flowers blooming in vivid hues and lush greenery enveloping Elizabeth. The open-air setting adds a sense of freedom and connection to nature that was highly valued during this time period. This naive painting offers a glimpse into colonial America through its primitive style. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent present even in British colonies like New England. As we gaze upon this half-length portrait, we are transported back to a time when America was still emerging as its own nation. Now housed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the history behind it. A true gem from early American art, it reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and the individuals who shaped our nation's story.
