Sourced Overview Evidence

Seen here at the age of 15, Moses Seymour Jr. holds a book and cane, suggesting that he reads and walks in harmony with nature. The portrait was commissioned by his father, a former Revolutionary War major who lived in Litchfield, Connecticut. Artist Ralph Earl was the leading painter in the Connecticut River Valley, returning there after receiving training in London.
