1) Jane Stuart, born in Boston, Massachusetts on 1812 to April 27, 1888 (aged 75 to 76), was an American painter, best known for her miniature paintings & portraits, particularly of George Washington.
2) She was the youngest child of renowned painter Gilbert Stuart. Jane learned painting skills by watching him, copying his style, & through lessons by instructors or her brother Charles.
3) She completed many of her father's partially finished paintings & made her own paintings. Affectionately called "boy" by him, she was considered to be a better painter than he was at the same age.
4) Her painting of Washington, patterned after one made by her father, exhibited her skill as an artist, capturing light and depicting facial features and expression.
5) Her paintings were so skillful that the paintings have been confused with the originals by art dealers. Besides earning money as a painter, Stuart was also an art teacher.
6) Noted as the first woman portraitist of Newport, she was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame in 2011. Her work is held at the Photograph Archives & Library of the SAAM & U.S.A.
