James Harvey Young (1830–1918) was born in Salem, Massachusetts, and studied architecture before opening a studio in Boston. Examples of his work are in the collections of the American Antiquarian Society and the Essex Institute; the latter organization owns a self-portrait. Young used Gilbert Stuart’s painting of Knox, hanging in Faneuil Hall in Boston, to produce a faithful likeness of the Revolutionary War hero, omitting only the cannon Stuart had included as a rest for Knox’s left hand, which had been crippled in a hunting accident. Young also painted Benjamin Lincoln for the Army’s secretarial portrait gallery.
