Jacob Eichholtz’s “Mrs. Benjamin Schaum (Anna Maria Heckensweiler)” is an oil painting on canvas, executed in an oval shape. Created between 1808 and 1810, it is a portrait of Anna Maria Heckensweiler, the wife of Benjamin Schaum. Eichholtz captures the subject in profile, dressed in a simple, elegant gown and a white cap, her face displaying a hint of reserved composure. The painting, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a fine example of early American portraiture, showcasing Eichholtz’s talent for capturing individual character.
