Studying under his father, renowned artist Robert Walter Weir (1803—1889), he worked in a traditional, academic manner based in precise and highly detailed drawing. This painting appears to be a smaller pendant to Weir’s An Artist’s Studio (1864) which depicts another perspective of his father’s studio in West Point, New York. The interior provides a unique window into Weir’s practice of history-informed painting, embellished with objects typically associated with creating art during that period including armor, antique furniture, and the historic costume the Black subject, presumably a domestic servant, is wearing.
