EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Susan Walker Morse (The Muse)" was painted by Samuel Finley Breese Morse in the years 1836-37. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 187.3 x 146.4 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The subject of this artwork is Susan Walker Morse, who was not only the artist's daughter but also his muse. Painted during her adolescence, Susan exudes a sense of elegance and grace as she sits on a sofa on a balcony overlooking a picturesque sky. Dressed in fashionable attire from the 19th century, Susan's lace fabric dress adds to her feminine allure. She holds a notebook in her lap, perhaps capturing her thoughts or sketches that reflect her artistic inclinations. Morse skillfully captures Susan's youthful beauty and innocence through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The vibrant colors used in this painting further enhance its visual impact. This exquisite piece exemplifies the artistry of Samuel F. B. Morse beyond his renowned invention of the telegraph system. It serves as both a testament to his talent as an artist and as an intimate portrayal of familial love and admiration for his daughter. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back to the Victorian era, where artistry flourished alongside societal changes. "Susan Walker Morse (The Muse)" remains an enduring symbol of timeless beauty captured within one person's seated pose on canvas.
