Henry Teller c. 1835

This portrait of Henry Teller, painted by Ammi Phillips circa 1835, showcases the artist's signature style of American folk art. Teller is depicted in a simple, yet dignified manner, wearing a dark coat over a white waistcoat, with a quill pen in hand. The painting's focus on realistic detail and restrained palette are characteristic of Phillips' work, which is highly sought after for its historical and cultural significance. This portrait is a fine example of the genre of portraiture as it was practiced in the United States during the early 19th century.
