Christiana Stille Keen
Matthew Pratt
ca. 1769 · Oil on canvas · The American Wing
Soon after his return from London, where he had studied under Benjamin West, Pratt painted the portraits of Reynold Keen (1738– 1800; 2008.244), a successful Philadelphia merchant, and his wife, Christiana Stille (1744–1777), a Philadelphia heiress. Their affable faces and luxurious surroundings describe their well-being, early in their married life.
