This 1860s carte de visite by John and Charles Watkins is a portrait of the Scottish painter John Pettie (1839-1893). Pettie was known for his dramatic, often historical, paintings, and his work captured the attention of audiences in Britain. This photograph captures Pettie in a formal, professional pose, showcasing the artist’s signature thick beard and penetrating gaze. The image, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gives a glimpse into the life of a popular artist of the Victorian Era.
