Painter

Wasn't he beautiful? Oh baybee. Please note that the handsome, comely fellow in this painting and the artist who painted him were one and the same: John Singleton Copley, the finest American painter of his day. Portraiture was his specialty, just for you to know, and today's the anniversary of his birthday, in 1738.
