Indeed, he was arguably the most admired portraitist of the Romantic era in the United States. Over the course of his long career, Sully produced over twenty-six hundred works, approximately two thousand of which were portraits. The remainder were landscapes, genre and thematic figurative works Sully termed "fancy pictures," paintings intended for the decoration of the drawing rooms and parlors of his wealthy clients. A sleeping baby, with or without its mother, was one of the artist's favorite "fancy" subjects.Overall size: 15 3/4 x 14 1/4 in. Sight size: 9 3/4 x 8 1/4 in.
