By Joseph B. Blackburn in 1760. The portrait of John Pigott is an oil on canvas purchased with funds provided by the American Art Council in honor of the Museum's 25th anniversary. By the museum, John Pigott is posed before the harbor of Hamilton. Further in the distance of the portrait is the home of Pigott's father-in-law. The wealth and posture of the Pigotts are indicated by these potraits and their attire. John Pigott's coat accquires accesories such as lace shirt cuffs and a white satin waistcoat in gold and silver. I chose this portrait, because it caught my attention since it was short before the Revolutinary Era during the colonial period.
