About Frost P. Limner
Mary Black, the specialist in American folk painting, designated the artist of this work as the Frost-Pepperell Limner, based on various portraits of sitters named Frost and Pepperell that appear to be all by the same hand. This painter’s most famous work is the portrait of Dorothy Quincy in the Massachusetts Historical Society (early 1720s), a young girl with flowing hair who holds a parrot. This portrait was from the bequest of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. |
