专家说明

Jacob Fowle (or Fowler) was born at Marblehead to Jacob Fowl and Susanna Nick. He married 'Marey' Rowland and was the colonel of the fifth regiment of militia in the County of Essex, where he was also an important merchant. It is possible that in this portrait, Copley has created a visual pun on the sitter's name, representing the sitter with his gun, or fowling piece. Prown (op. cit.) dates this painting to circa 1761, when the artist was in his twenties.
