Talk:Matthew Harris Jouett

Self Portrait
Not sure who wrote this or how to make the correction. The portrait shown was a self portrait there are plenty of sources to verify this. Lilredreb (talk) 04:51, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * - No need to correct because it is a copy. The original's whereabout are unknown. The source of this particular image is from Samuel Woodson Price's publication about an exhibition in Kentucky - The Old Masters of the Bluegrass: Jouett, Bush, Grimes, Frazer, Morgan, Hart, published in Louisville, KY by John P. Morton & Co in 1902 and Price's book states "From a portrait painted by himself". In painting and art, when the term "from" is used it means it is derived from the original work or is a copy *of* that work. See the image's page on Commons.
 * Besides, look at all the rest of Matthew Harris Jouett's works...this one is clearly by a different hand and is not nearly as good as the famous Thomas Jefferson portrait and Henry Clay's portrait, etc. - Shearonink (talk) 16:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
