The Beardsley Limner, an American painter active 1785-1805, was an itinerant artist who executed several naive portraits along the old Boston Post Road, in Connecticut & Massachusetts, from about 1785 to 1805. This name is derived from portraits this artist made of Elizabeth & Hezekiah Beardsley. The Beardsley Limner may actually be a Connecticut pastelist Sarah Perkins. Some stylistic similarities exist between the two, but there are sufficient differences to raise questions about a definitive identification. Works shown here are attributed to the Beardsley Limner.
