Charles B. Lawrence (artist)

Charles B. Lawrence (c. 1790, Bordentown, New Jersey - 1864, Philadelphia (?)) was an American painter; primarily of portraits and landscapes. He also produced copies of popular paintings by other artists. It is not known what the "B" stands for. He may have added it simply to distinguish himself from someone else.

Biography

He is said to have studied with Gilbert Stuart and Rembrandt Peale. His first known paintings were of Bordentown. One was published as an engraving in an issue of The Port Folio in 1816.[1]

Between 1813 and 1837, he worked in Philadelphia and exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He appears to have given up painting after that time.
