Daniel Crommelin Verplanck

1771
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 755
Daniel Verplanck, rampollo di un’illustre famiglia newyorkese, è qui ritratto all’età di nove anni. In questo dipinto Copley si è servito con ottimi risultati, come già in passato, del tema di un giovane nobile in posa che gioca con uno scoiattolino domestico tenuto a un guinzaglio d’oro. Mentre lo scoiattolo si aggrappa alla sua gamba, il fanciullo fissa con sguardo impassibile l’osservatore. Il quadro è uno dei migliori esempi dello stile coloniale di Copley e si distingue per la chiarezza compositiva e l’intensa sensibilità.
