Anna Claypoole Peale, a prominent American portrait painter, created this miniature portrait of George Weaver in 1833. The work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Peale's mastery of the miniature genre, evident in the delicate detail and subtle brushstrokes. The oval format, a common choice for miniatures, enhances the intimate and personal nature of the portrait. The intricate silver frame adds to the overall elegance of this small but impactful artwork.
