Nancy Kellogg 1838

This miniature portrait, "Nancy Kellogg," was painted by James Whitehorne in 1838. It depicts a young woman, possibly Nancy Kellogg, wearing a dark dress with a lace collar and a brooch. Whitehorne, a prominent American painter, specialized in portraiture and miniatures. The miniature's small size and delicate details suggest a focus on personal likeness and intimate portraiture. This work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, providing a glimpse into the artistic practices of the 19th century.
