EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait by John Singleton Copley, we are transported back to the year 1771 and introduced to a young boy named Daniel Crommelin Verplanck. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, as he captures not only the physical likeness of Daniel but also his playful spirit. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, Daniel stands confidently with one hand resting on an intricately carved wooden table. His clothing reflects the style and elegance of 18th-century America, featuring breeches, stockings, and a colorful dress shirt. However, it is not just his outfit that catches our eye; perched on his shoulder is an adorable squirrel companion. The inclusion of this unexpected animal friend adds a touch of whimsy to the composition while also showcasing Copley's artistic prowess. The squirrel appears at ease in Daniel's presence and seems almost as if it were part of his entourage. Displayed proudly within the hallowed halls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this oil painting serves as a testament to both American artistry and historical significance. As we admire this masterpiece today, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates a moment frozen in time - capturing not only Daniel's essence but also providing us with glimpses into fashion trends and cultural norms from over two centuries ago.
