This is thought to be a miniature of one of Charles Willson Peale’s earliest and most loyal patrons, the Maryland agriculturist John Beale Bordley (1727-1804). The date of the miniature, however, seventeen years after Bordley’s death, makes the identification unlikely. Although the man’s features bear a passing resemblance to Bordley, further research needs to be done.
