Artist
William Johnston
William Johnston is a Rococo painting painter. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Brooklyn Museum, most of them oil paintings.
William Johnston painted faces that look like they have just stepped in from the cold. He worked in the same small Massachusetts town for decades, turning neighbors into subjects one at a time. His 1763 portraits of Mrs. Samuel Gardiner and her husband hold a quiet stare you can still feel today.
