Sarah_Clayton

Sarah Clayton I visited the Fitchburg Art Museum on October 22, 2004, this was the second time that I’ve visited this museum and I actually decided to write about the piece that I discovered upon my last visit to the museum. I don’t have a very broad knowledge of art. I do appreciate it when I see it but I never pursued it anymore than I did probably due to the fact of my own artistic inability. Last year when I visited the museum I was very impressed with the entire museum, especially the exhibit on American and European portraits. The pictures were very detailed. My favorite of the paintings was by Joseph Wright of Derby, it was called Sarah Clayton. This painting was done through oils on canvas and was painted sometime between 1768 and 1771. The portrait was of a women at her desk and was writing lines with ink on her finger. It wasn’t very clear as to what she was writing but this picture definitely caught my attention and that is why I chose to analyze it. Joseph Wright of Derby was the English painter who painted “Sarah Clayton. wright, very, museum, painting, derby, visited, sarah, clayton, year, writing, time, realistic, realism, portrait, picture, paintings, painted, made, looking, look, last, help, done, different, detailed, definitely, color, art, actually, 1771, write, world, women, woman’s, white
