Légende

Jonathan Mountfort, c1753. Although seven-year-old Jonathan Mountfort grew up in Boston, John Singleton Copley surrounded him with worldly details from European mezzotint prints. The Mediterranean cypress trees, rocky setting, and floral wreath were probably inspired by portrait prints of European aristocrats and royals, which Copley would have seen in the studio of his stepfather, the engraver and painter Peter Pelham.
