Talk:Sarah Miriam Peale

Technique & shawl
Surprised there is no discussion of one of her visual "trademarks:" the broad grin, and a shawl in the sitter's lap or over their shoulders. While most portrait sitters of the time preferred a guarded, enigmatic smile-or none at all--Sarah Peale's portraits always grin. And of the several Sarah Peales in the collection of the Maryland HIstorical Society, three of five women sport the same royal blue and white shawl. Men are usually shown with the more subdued red shawl shown in the lap of Elijah Bosley. FrederickFolger &#9875;  (talk) 19:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Gallery
I'd like to add a gallery of her work, as there is now enough on Wikipedia commons for one. An example of an artist's gallery can be found on the Frederick Edwin Church wikipage. Any objection? ElijahBosley (talk &#9758;)  16:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
