Abstract:
Cephas Thompson was one of Virginia’s most prolific portrait painters of the early nineteenth century. The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina examined Thompson’s Memorandum of Portraits in which he recorded over five hundred portraits. The paintings reflect the changes in American society and offer early biographical records of the early Republic.
