About James Earle
A native of Massachusetts, James Earl painted in London between 1787 and 1794 and in Charleston, South Carolina, from that year until his death. He adopted contemporary modes in English painting, including the informal conversation group. Earl became successful at depicting several figures in a single composition, a challenge had confounded many American painters, including his better-known older brother, Ralph Earl. Although all his portraits capture a sense of life and character through facial expression, those he painted of women are slightly idealized. His patrons admired him for "giving life to the eye, and expression of every feature" and for his facility at painting drapery.
