Reverend Ammi Ruhamah Robbins is a 1812 oil by Reuben Moulthrop, a American Folk Art work, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
This portrait features a man with gray hair, dressed in a dark blue robe over a white shirt and dark vest. He holds an open book in his hands, with the pages facing outward. The background is a muted brown color. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal or professional setting, possibly from the early 19th century. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail create a sense of realism in the portrait. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Reuben Moulthrop.
