In gold and black frame, OS: 32" x 26- 1/2", SS: 28- 1/2" x 23", cleaned and relined. LITERATURE: Pictured Erastus Salisbury Field, 1805-1900, by Mary Black, 1984, pg. 63. Mary Black, Curator Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Art Center, Williamsburg 1961-1964; Director Museum of American Folk Art 1964-1969; Curator NYHS 1969-1982. Black wrote extensively about this painting; "A portrait of the artist's younger brother, Phineas, is representative of Field's work in this periodÉ1830, the year that Phineas came of age, and in one of his best portrayals, the artist marked the event with a fine, sure painting (pl. 3). The odd proportions are present, and so is the red chair. Phineas has a broken nose; his full lipped mouth is set in a pout; his coarse black hair is painted almost as a design in black folds. Fields use of both bright and somber colors and his sense of design result in a work that is surprisingly modern." (pg. 15). EXHIBITED: Museum of Fine Arts, Springfield, MA National Museum of American Art and National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC Museum of American Folk Art, NY The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY Marion Koogler McNay Art Institute, San Antonio, TX
