Dearborn, MI, United States
Ammi Phillips was an itinerant portrait painter, working in Connecticut, Massachusetts and eastern New York. Like other "Folk" painters, he employed standard poses yet meticulously individualized the sitter's face and hair and added other personalized touches. This mid-1820s painting of Julia Barton Hunting along with one of her husband may have been commissioned as wedding portraits. The couple moved to Michigan in 1849.
