專家說明

James W. DePeyster was the uncle of Charles Willson Peale's second wife, Elizabeth DePeyster. While Peale was staying at the DePeyster's home in 1798, he painted the present portrait of James, a companion portrait of his wife Anna (San Antonio Museum of Art, San Antonio, Texas) and miniatures of each. Peale later wrote in his diary in June of that year: "I have painted the Portraits of Mr. James W. DePeyster and Lady in oil, also their portraits in miniature.I finished all of these portraits to the entire satisfaction of the family-" (C.C. Sellers, Portraits and Miniatures by Charles Willson Peale, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1952, p. 65.)
