Matthew Pratt American
ca. 1769
Not on view
Soon after his return from London, where he had studied under Benjamin West, Pratt painted the portraits of Reynold Keen (1738– 1800), a successful Philadelphia merchant, and his wife, Christiana Stille (1744–1777; 2008.243), a Philadelphia heiress. Their affable faces and luxurious surroundings describe their well-being, early in their married life.
