Description:
Framed oil portrait of Chloe Ingram, which is inscribed: "Mrs, Chloe Ingram by Joseph Chandler at So. Hadley / 1839." Joseph Chandler was born in South Hadley, Massachusetts, to Captain David Chandler (1770-1838) and Clarissa Goodhue Chandler (1788-1891), Joseph Goodhue's daughter and the sister of Harriet Talyor Goodhue Williams (1799-1874), who married in 1803. Joseph Chandler trained early as a cabinetmaker, but later, between ages 14 and 19, travelled to Albany, NY, to study painting with Williams Collins (1787-1847) who was listed in Albany directories from 1827-1832. Chandler's earliest portraits date from about 1837, and are primarily those of famly members. In 1840, Chandler married Lucretia Ann White (1820-1868), an established painter in Hubbardson, Mass., and they likely collaborated on a number of portraits over the years. Chandler then travelled as an itinerant painter, primarily in northwestern Massachusetts, until he established a studio in Boston in 1852. The Chandlers returned to Hubbardston in 1860, where they lived and worked for the rest of their lives. Chloe Ingram sits facing the viewer with her head slightly turned ot the left, wearing a white lace cap with a pink satin bow on top, white collar and black dress, against a deep red-brown background.
