DescriptionThis pair of portraits by the American artist Frederick Randolph Spencer depicts a fashionable couple from New York: Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Carter, painted in 1832 and 1831, respectively. Mr. Carter’s stylish cravat and high-collared jacket suggests that he had found success in his profession; research indicates that he was likely a grocer and dry goods merchant.
