Markings:
Charles Vaughan was the fourth of eleven children born to Samuel Vaughan (1720-1802) and Sarah Hallowell, who came from Boston. Vaughan was perhaps Pines most important patron. He was instrumental in introducing Pine as an artist in America, and commissioned from him portraits of himself,2 his wife,3 and at least eight of his children, from 1760 over a period of around fifteen years. Charles also appears in a double-portrait with one of his brothers, John (The Westmoreland County Museum of Art, Greensburg, Pennsylvania).4 A portrait of his brother, Richard (formerly with Philip Mould, London),5 from Pines series of portraits of the Vaughan children, is most comparable to the present work in format, depicting the boy also in three-quarter length and holding a book.
