Because of his unusually precise style and the multitude of sitters he portrayed, his distinctive profile portraits have come to epitomize Federal America."--BOOK JACKET. "Among his subjects were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, Mother Seton, John Adams, and Paul Revere. Eventually Saint-Memin returned to France, leaving behind no successful imitators of his art. Among the most individualistic images from the Federal period, his profile portraits are a unique legacy to this nation."--BOOK JACKET. "This book documents all of the artist's portraits, as well as his landscapes, plans, and other engravings; and the portrait entries include short biographies of the subjects. The catalogue is preceded by an illustrated history of the neoclassical profile portrait in America, and a biography of the artist."--Jacket.
