          Biography

          early life and education

          charles loring elliott, an american painter, was born in auburn, new york, in 1812. his father, a builder, encouraged his son's early interest in drawing and architecture. elliott's health was fragile, but he persevered to develop his artistic skills. he studied with colonel john trumbull and john quidor in new york city, refining his technique.

          career

          elliott returned to central new york, where he worked intensively at portrait painting for 10 years. his portraits "were never stiff, or clumsy, or cold; but gradually grace, and ease, and warmth, and high feeling, stole into the forms on his canvas…" (source: currier gallery of art). needing the stimulation of the city, he returned to new york in 1845, where trumbull approved of his progress. the following year, he was elected to the national academy of design.

          notable works and clients

          elliott's technique is neither provincial nor uncertain. his method is mature, his drawing firm, his color fresh and clean, and his likenesses excellent. some of his notable works include:
          • don quijote and falstaff, figure pieces
