Doyle 1810
pastel, 23 by 18.5 in, framed, under glass
From a direct descendent of the sitter.
William Doyle, born in Boston, was noted for portraits in miniature, pastel, and crayon, as well as silhouettes. In the 1796 Boston Directory he was first listed as a paper stainer, and then in 1803 as a painter of miniatures. At that time, he joined with Daniel Bowen in the proprietorship of the Boston Columbian Museum (1795-1825) on Tremont St. which exhibited art, wax figures, and natural history specimens. An 1811 ad placed by Doyle reads "Wm. M.S. Doyle, Miniature and Profile Painter. Tremont Street, Boston, next house north of the Stone-Chapel, the late residence of R.G. AMORY esq. Continues to execute Likenesses in Miniature and Profiles of various sizes (the latter in shade or natural colors) in a style peculiarly striking and elegant, whereby the most forcible animation is obtained. Some are finished on composition in the manner of the celebrated Meirs of London. Prices of Profiles-from 25 cents to 1, 2 & 5 dollars. Miniatures-12,15,18 and 20 dollars."
