Rufus Hathaway
American country painter , 1770-1822
American painter and physician. He may have been apprenticed to ship-carvers and decorators, but he was not trained in fine art. His earliest known portrait, Lady with her Pets (1790; New York, Met.), demonstrates his unsophisticated, decorative style. Between 1790 and 1796 he seems to have worked as an itinerant artist; only portraits of relatives and friends survive. During his life he painted at least 25 portraits as well as miniatures, views and decorative overmantels. He also painted a genre subject, the Welch Curate, c. 1800 Related Paintings of Rufus Hathaway :. | Apotheose Heinrichs IV | Chardin and His Models | Lottie of Paradise Walk | Tochter Philipps IV | Portrait of Ludwik Rydygier with his assistants. | Related Artists: Mario Villares Barbosapainted Nu feminino in 1880 - 1917 COUSIN, Jean the ElderFrench High Renaissance Painter, ca.1495-1560 kislind
