James Martin
English
As indicated in advertisements, he was from London and arrived in New York around 1794. He worked in the northeast region until around 1820. His early nineteenth-century Connecticut advertisements stated that he painted both full-size and miniature portraits in oil, watercolor or crayon. Despite some success, he was not wellr egarded by the art critic William Dunlap, who described him as the most wretched pretender to crayon painting (Connecticut Journal of New Haven, September 24, 1800)
