EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor portrait, created by Thomas Sully in 1829, showcases Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The image closely relates to an oil painting of the same sitter, capturing the essence of Carroll's distinguished character. Charles Carroll, born in 1737, was a prominent American politician and planter from Maryland. In this full-length portrait, Carroll is depicted seated in an indoor setting, likely in his study or library. He sits confidently in a high-backed chair, dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1820s. Carroll wears a dark coat, a white waistcoat, and a crisp shirt with a ruffled collar. He gazes directly at the viewer with a serious yet thoughtful expression, inviting us into his world. The use of rich colors and intricate details in the painting highlights the romantic era's appreciation for historic figures and the country's heritage. The interior setting, with its ornate furniture and decorative objects, adds to the sense of grandeur and importance. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Carroll and his role in shaping the political landscape of the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. This beautiful watercolor on paper is a valuable addition to any collection of American art or history. Thomas Sully, a renowned artist of the Romantic era, skillfully captured the essence of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, leaving us with a lasting impression of this historic figure.
