Joseph Blackburn, Portrait, Lady in Blue
Attributed to Joseph Blackburn (Active 1752 through 1777)
Oil on canvas
The appeal of Blackburn’s work is apparent in this half-length portrait of a stylish young
lady with fashionably rouged cheeks rendered in an elegant pose; a pinned ribbon
ornaments her bodice and meticulously rendered lace is featured on her sleeves and
the square-cut neck of her dress. The subjects outstretched arms and hands are typical
of Blackburn’s oeuvre. The canvas was long lined and ago re-stretched; there is
extremely minor scattered in-painting to cracklature. (Dimensions: 27.75 by 35.75”.)

An attractive blue-eyed family seated at a table…the child holding a basket of cherries
places cherries in moms’ hand; dad may be an architect as he is drawing, and a divider
is before him. This agreeable composition is colorful, remains on original stretcher
within original frame. The canvas is wax lined, two tears restored: extremely minor
scattered in-paint. (48.25" x 35.25" x 3.25" framed)
