Portrait of the Howell Boys 

"Portrait of the Howell Boys" is an oil painting by American artist Thomas Sully, renowned for his portraiture. The work depicts three young boys in formal attire, their expressions ranging from serious to playful, offering a glimpse into the lives of a wealthy family. Sully's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, making the figures appear to almost step out of the canvas.
