Portrait of Charles Apthorp — Antique Portrait Print

The Story in the Margin

This portrait depicts Charles Apthorp (1698–1758), one of the wealthiest merchants of colonial Boston, whose fortune came from shipping and trade. Painted in the grand English manner that the American colonies borrowed to advertise status and success, it is a window onto the confident, moneyed world of pre-Revolutionary New England.
