EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the tender bond between Dr. Samuel Simes and his beloved daughter, Mary Jane. Painted by James Peale the Elder, this oil on canvas masterpiece exudes a sense of warmth and familial love that is truly timeless. Dr. Simes, a distinguished doctor from North America, sits in a dignified manner while cradling his precious toddler daughter on his lap. Both father and daughter are impeccably dressed, with Dr. Simes wearing a tie and Mary Jane adorned with an adorable bow in her hair. The artist skillfully portrays their personalities through subtle details - the confident gaze of Dr. Simes reflects his professionalism as a renowned physician, while Mary Jane's innocent expression reveals her playful nature. In this three-quarter length composition, Peale expertly balances the elements of intimacy and formality. The inclusion of toys near Mary Jane hints at their shared moments of joy and playfulness within their close-knit family. As we admire this remarkable painting, we are transported back to early 19th century America where family values were cherished above all else. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love between parent and child throughout history. Displayed proudly in private collection today, this exquisite print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery of James Peale and the profound connection between Dr. Samuel Simes and his adoring daughter Mary Jane.
