Silhouette of Edward Worth of Saco, Maine 1828 - 1883

This silhouette, created by William Henry Brown, depicts Edward Worth of Saco, Maine. The artwork, dating back to the 19th century, showcases the silhouette art form popular in the early 1800s. The silhouette, a stark black figure against a light background, captures the essence of Worth in a simple yet expressive manner, set against a picturesque landscape. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the artistry and social significance of silhouette portraits during this time.
