Abstract:
John Singleton Copley's portrait of Wilmington merchant and planter John Burgwin, which was painted in 1783, is one of only a few portraits of North Carolinians by America's first great artist. The painting remained in the family for 222 years, and in 2005, it was donated to the North Carolina Museum of Art.
