EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Edward Penington (1766-1834)" and painted by Stuart Gilbert, captures the essence of a remarkable individual. The oil on canvas print showcases Penington in all his glory, standing as a testament to his accomplishments and character. In this half-length portrait, Edward Penington exudes confidence and intelligence. His spectacles rest upon his nose, symbolizing his keen intellect and attention to detail. As a prominent sugar refiner from Philadelphia during the 18th century, Penington played an integral role in shaping the city's history. The artist skillfully portrays Penington holding a letter or document, perhaps representing his involvement in important business affairs or correspondence with influential figures of the time. This detail adds depth to the painting and invites viewers to speculate about the significance of these written words. Measuring at 73.6x60.3 cm, this masterpiece is housed within the Philadelphia History Museum at Atwater Kent – a fitting location for such an esteemed piece of art that celebrates local heritage. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and collaboration with Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection, we are fortunate enough to enjoy this extraordinary artwork today. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an invaluable historical artifact documenting one man's contribution to society. Let us admire this exceptional portrayal of Edward Penington; may it inspire us to appreciate those who have left their mark on our world through their achievements and dedication.
