Thomas Middleton 1752 - 1758

This miniature portrait of Thomas Middleton, painted by Mary Roberts, dates back to the mid-18th century. The miniature is an intimate and delicate depiction of a young boy in a white dress, likely worn for a special occasion. The small size and intricate detail are characteristic of miniature portraiture popular during the 18th century. It is a charming example of the work of Mary Roberts, an American artist known for her portraits of children and families, whose work is now held in prestigious collections like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
