EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas portrait, painted by Joseph Badger around 1760, captures the youthful beauty and elegance of Sarah Larrabee Edes. Born on July 12, 1719, Sarah was the younger daughter of Captain John Larrabee, who served as captain lieutenant, or commanding officer, of Castle William (later Fort Independence) in Boston Harbor for nearly forty years before his death on February 11, 1762. On December 21, 1738, Sarah married Thomas Edes, a ship joiner, or carpenter, of Boston. This portrait, which showcases Sarah's delicate features, expressive eyes, and intricately detailed clothing, offers a glimpse into the lives of the prosperous and influential Larrabee family during the 18th century in America. The painting, which is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an excellent example of the artistic talent and cultural heritage that thrived in colonial America. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork highlights Badger's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of his subject. This portrait not only serves as a testament to Sarah's beauty but also provides a valuable historical record of the people and society of the time. The portrait's rich details and intricate textures invite viewers to explore the history and culture of colonial America, offering a unique window into the past.
