Label Text:
Little is known about the artist Isaac (or Josiah) Keeley. he was probably a native of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and worked in Bradford, Massachusetts, in the 1850's. Several portraits have been attributed to Keeley; however, very few are signed. His known portraits of children all employ similar poses and are often set in a wooded background. The adult portraits tend to be closer up and more direct views.
