Attributed to William Matthew Prior (New England and Baltimore, 1806-1873) Portraits of a Young Man and Woman. Mid 19th century, Massachusetts. Unsigned. Oil on academy board, 16 1/2 x 13 in., unframed. Condition: Very good, original condition. Note: William Matthew Prior was a prolific 19th century folk portrait painter who could produce an accomplished academic likeness or a flat picture without shadow for a greatly reduced price. These two portraits were undoubtedly accomplished after he had moved from Maine to Boston by 1841.
