Miss Leland
Miss Leland is a Romanticism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Miss Leland appears in the census as paintress, a small edge of sass in an era that called women artists amateurs. She painted on ivory in watercolor, giving her sitters a glow under glass. In Portrait of a Boy (ca. 1840), she rendered the boy's freckles as carefully as constellations.
