Hi Candace

 

Have you seen Mark Thistlethwaite’s Painting in the grand manner : the art of Peter Frederick Rothermel (1812-1895) ?

 

His “Columbus before the Queen” (1841) has romantic garb and you should see his “Downer Children” (1850) both are at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. His work is also found at National Portrait Gallery in London and at the Reading Public Museum in PA.

 

AskArt also lists eight other works…

 

Hope that this helps!

 

Best,

Ware

Greetings all...I looking for information about specific paintings by Peter Frederick Rothermel (1812-1895).  He is best known as a history painter, but I am seeking any information on small (about 12x16 image size) portraits of women, ca. 1860s, in romantic garb and poses. 

We have one in our collection, and I've seen at least one other...is anyone aware of these paintings?

Thanks much!
