Technique & shawl

Surprised there is no discussion of one of her visual "trademarks:" the broad grin, and a shawl in the sitter's lap or over their shoulders. While most portrait sitters of the time preferred a guarded, enigmatic smile-or none at all--Sarah Peale's portraits always grin. And of the several Sarah Peales in the collection of the Maryland HIstorical Society, three of five women sport the same royal blue and white shawl. Men are usually shown with the more subdued red shawl shown in the lap of Elijah Bosley. FrederickFolger ⚓ ^(talk) 19:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery

I'd like to add a gallery of her work, as there is now enough on Wikipedia commons for one. An example of an artist's gallery can be found on the Frederick Edwin Church wikipage. Any objection?ElijahBosley ^{(talk ☞)} 16:53, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Entrepreneurial skills such as art'

'Sarah and her sisters, Anna Claypoole and Margaretta, were different from the middle-class women of the time, as they experienced schooling, how to be a wife and mother, as well as developed entrepreneurial skills from their family such as art.'

First, art is an 'entrepreneurial skill'? A very ... American perspective, I suppose. Seems controversial, though. Second, if so, I would place the phrase 'such as art' immediately after 'entrepreneurial skills' and before 'from their family'. Third, did they really learn any other 'entrepreneurial skills'? Which ones? Fourth, did other middle-class women of the time really not learn 'how to be a wife and a mother ... from their family'? I should have thought that only learning to paint set them apart, not the housewife stuff. Fifth, I am not sure that their alleged learning 'how to be a wife and a mother' is even relevant in this case when two of the three never became wives and none of them became a mother. 62.73.72.3 (talk) 21:26, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
