BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- Nine original portrait miniatures by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), known as “The Artist of the American Revolution,” along with five more attributed “in the manner of” Peale, are currently on display and available for private treaty purchase at Heritage Auctions Beverly Hills. They will remain on display until the end of September. “We believe this is the largest, and certainly one of the finest collections of Peale miniatures that currently exists in private hands,” said Jim Halperin, Co-Chairman of Heritage Auctions. “There is no artist more directly associated with the American Revolution than Charles Willson Peale, making him one of the most important painters in our nations’ history. The chance to see, and possibly acquire, such a significant grouping at one time is not likely to come again anytime soon.” The nine miniature portraits directly attributed to Peale include images of John Beale Bordley (1
