EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting by Ralph Earl, titled "Mrs. Noah Smith and Her Children" showcases the elegant Chloe Burrall (1757-1810), wife of Vermont judge Noah Smith, surrounded by their five children. The family is depicted in a grand manner, with the four older children posed before a picturesque landscape, each holding an attribute that symbolizes their education and global ambitions. The focal point of the composition is son Daniel, positioned second to the left, proudly clutching a "Map of the World". This emblem serves as a testament to the family's cultured upbringing and enterprising nature. As residents of colonial America during this time period marked by revolution and independence from British rule, Mrs. Noah Smith's brood represents both wealth and ambition. Earl skillfully captures not only their opulent attire but also intricate details such as lace fabrics and luxurious velvet waistcoats worn by these privileged individuals. The painting provides us with a glimpse into North American society at this time—a prosperous yet still developing nation. Currently housed in New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It reminds us of America's early days as it sought to establish itself on a global stage while simultaneously nurturing its own unique identity within New England culture.
