Emily Eastman

Emily Eastman was an early 19th century American painter.

A watercolor painter, Eastman produced a series of bust portraits of fashionable women in Loudon, New Hampshire.

[2] Not much else is known about her personal life; what little information is recorded about her has been gleaned from inscriptions on her drawings.

[5] Eastman rarely signed her paintings, similar to other contemporary folk artists.

However, those that are unsigned can be identified "speculatively as her work on the basis of such similarities as prominent thin, delicately arched eyebrows, small bowed mouths, and elaborate coiffures of tight curls crowned by jewelry, flowers, and other adornments.
