Penniman (1782-1841) was well-known for his portrait paintings, landscape scenes, and engraving skills, as evidenced by his creation of Boston’s official seal stamp, which was issued on the date of the city’s incorporation in 1822. The artist, Gilbert Charles Stuart of Rhode Island, was a close friend of Penniman’s, and the two of them worked together as assistants until Stuart’s death in 1828.
