Portrait of Edward Crowell Potter

Edward Crowell Potter is a Romanticism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Edward Crowell Potter painted miniature portraits in watercolor on small ivory slabs. His Portrait of a Gentleman rewards a close look: the man's mustache is rendered with real, bristling detail. These are fleeting human moments caught on a sliver of bone. Find number 632 in the Met's American Wing, no bigger than a playing card.
