Label TextFrothingham was a student and close follower of Gilbert Stuart. He settled in New York in 1826 and enjoyed a successful career as a portraitist.
This painting and its companion were painted in 1823, when Frothingham was still active in Boston and most strongly under Stuart's influence. The Brooks family, including five children, enjoyed the comforts of a well-furnished mansion in Medford.
