George W. Stevens
George W. Stevens is a Romanticism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
George W. Stevens painted delicate portraits on tiny ivory plaques in the 1840s. His Portrait of a Boy from 1845 shows a young sitter dressed in the era’s formal black suit, his face painted in soft strokes against the ivory’s cool glow. These miniatures captured children and adults for New England families who wanted lasting keepsakes.
If you tap the ivory oval, you’ll see how Stevens used fine brushes to render lace collars and watch fobs with quiet precision.
