EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant portrait of Mrs. Walter Stewart, painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1782. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 127.318x101.918 cm and is housed at the prestigious Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. The subject of this enchanting painting is Deborah McClenachan, who married Walter Stewart in 1781. Walter was a brave Irish immigrant who joined the Continental army to fight for American independence during the Revolutionary War. Rising swiftly through the ranks, he became a prominent figure in colonial America. Commissioned by her adoring husband, this portrait captures Deborah's youthful beauty and grace as an eighteen-year-old bride from a wealthy Philadelphia family. She holds a delicate fan and stands beside a table adorned with luscious fruits while showcasing her musical talents with an instrument nearby. Peale skillfully portrays not only Deborah's individuality but also symbolizes her connection to both Ireland and America through his meticulous attention to detail. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to love, immigration stories, and the struggle for freedom during one of America's most transformative periods—the War of Independence. It proudly represents the spirit of American revolutionaries like Walter Stewart and their contribution towards building the United States into what it is today—a land of opportunity and liberty.
