Object Number:

Gallery Label:
Lyman Candee was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1847. This portrait, a gift from the sitter's granddaughter-in-law, is a somewhat provincial version of the style then being practiced by Asher B. Durand and the young Charles Loring Elliott, and was probably painted in upstate New York, possibly in the Albany area. The style of the coat would suggest a date of around 1835, which would agree with the age of the subject, who appears to be in his mid-to-late thirties.

Marks:
Signed and dated lower middle: J F Cropsey / 1859. Inscribed in pencil on wood backing panel: Castle Garden, New York / J. F. Cropsey—London—1859
Gallery Label:
The composition is identical with Cropsey's earlier study of the same subject painted in 1851 in the Society's collection. The main difference between the two is that the 1859 version is a moonlight scene. This later rendering is quite likely the one sold to the lithographer E. Gambert on July 28, 1859, while Cropsey was in London. The artist was then in the process of producing paintings 15 x 24 inches in size to be lithographed by Gambert.
