Sarah Miriam Peale was an American portrait painter.
Background
Sarah Miriam Peale was born on May 19, 1800 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States. She was the youngest of six children of James and Mary (Claypoole) Peale. Of her sisters, Anna Claypoole attained distinction as a miniature painter, and Margaretta was a professed painter of still life.
Education
Reared in an artistic environment, Sarah Miriam Peale began to study and practise painting during early girlhood. She is said to have assisted her father in his pictures by painting details such as lace and flowers.
Career
At eighteen, Sarah Miriam Peale executed her first portrait, a self-likeness which her uncle, Charles Willson Peale, praised at the time as being "wonderfully like. " In the annual exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1818 she was represented for the first time by a portrait of "a lady, " described as her "second attempt". In the following year she exhibited two portraits and four still-life pictures. In subsequent exhibitions her entries included portraits of men in public life, the first being Commodore Bainbridge, U. S. N. Congressman Caleb Cushing, Dixon H. Lewis of Alabama, L. F. Linn of Missouri, H. A. Wise, W. R. D. King (later vice-president), and Senator Benton were also among her patrons.
In 1825 the Marquis de Lafayette gave Miriam four sittings during his second visit to the United States and her portrait of him was highly praised as a faithful likeness. In 1826 she exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy two miniatures, the first of her work in that medium recorded. Following the death of her father in 1831 she removed with her sister, Jane (Peale) Simes, to Baltimore. She painted there and in Washington until about 1847, when she went to St. Louis.
In 1877 Sarah Miriam Peale returned to Philadelphia to rejoin her sisters, Margaretta and Anna. During her residence in the West she pursued her art, though her pictures rarely, if ever, found their way to exhibitions in the East where Anna Claypoole Peale continued to paint, thus overshadowing the accomplishments of her younger sister. Her paintings displayed greater virility in style than her sister Anna's miniatures, a quality which gave character to her more numerous portraits of men. Sarah Miriam Peale died in Philadelphia in the eighty-fifth year of her age on February 4, 1885.
Achievements
Sarah Miriam Peale was an eminent portrait painter. She considered to be the first American woman to succeed as a professional artist. Sarah Peale painted portraits mainly of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D. C. notables, politicians, and military figures.
