Known for his exceptional talent, Earl's paintings provide a glimpse into the lives and personalities of prominent figures from that era. In 1791, Earl painted Marinus Willett, showcasing his mastery in capturing intricate details and expressions. This portrait serves as a testament to both Willett's significance and Earl's artistic prowess. Another notable work by Earl is "Noah Smith, " created in 1798. Through this painting, we witness Smith's dignified presence brought to life on canvas, thanks to Earl's skillful brushstrokes. Moving forward to approximately 1830, Ezra Ames immortalized Mrs. Noah Smith and her family. This masterpiece not only showcases Ames' talent but also pays homage to Ralph Earl as its creator. One cannot overlook Roger Sherman's portrait from the mid-late 19th century; although its creator remains unknown, it exemplifies how artists like Ralph Earl influenced subsequent generations with their distinctive style. Earl had an undeniable ability to capture female beauty and grace as seen in his portraits of Mrs. Richard Alsop and Mrs. Joseph Wright from 1792—a true testament to his versatility as an artist. Thomas Earle became another subject for one of Ralph Earl’s masterpieces in 1800—an artwork that stands out due to its remarkable attention to detail and lifelike representation. Daniel Boardman was fortunate enough to have his likeness preserved by Ralph Earle himself in 1789—another example highlighting Earle’s contribution towards documenting important individuals during this period. The Family Portrait painted by Ralph Earle in 1804 encapsulates familial love within a single frame—a cherished memento capturing the essence of early American domestic life forever etched onto canvas.
