Thomas Sully美国, 1783–1872可否一睹真容?
華盛頓哥倫比亞特區, 美國
归属已知。今日是否在展,馆方并未说明,而我们不敢妄加揣测。
Wilmington, Delaware landowner and cotton merchant Daniel la Motte appears in the latest London fashion, his stylish clothes and relaxed demeanor reflecting the current style of portraiture popular in England and Europe. Artist Thomas Sully had just completed a sojourn to London and Paris, returning to Philadelphia prepared to paint sitters like La Motte as American aristocrats. His portrait of La Motte reflects American ambitions to be a great nation, aspiring to cultural parity with the Old World.
