Benjamin Daniel Greene 1848

"Benjamin Daniel Greene" is a portrait miniature on ivory painted by Henry I. Brown in 1848. The painting is a realistic portrayal of a young man, likely in his late teens or early twenties, dressed in formal attire. The artist, Henry I. Brown, was a young painter who lived from 1837 to 1851, which makes this miniature a rare example of his work. Miniature portraiture was a popular art form in the 19th century, often used to capture likenesses of family members and loved ones. Today, the miniature resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a renowned museum in New York City.
