(54.6 x 45.1 cm), Paintings, John Singleton Copley (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1738–1815 London), While there is no doubt of Copley's innate talent, these portraits give new meaning to the term precocious. About the age of fifteen, with no formal training and very little art to study, Copley not only could paint but also knew that his patrons would be best served with accurate but richly embellished likenesses
