Noah North (1809 - 1880)

Noah North

Noah North was an itinerant American portrait painter in the folk art tradition.

His style is very simple and also reminiscent of the early New England limners. Many of his works feature people holding pets. His first dated portrait is from 1833, although it is identified as "number 11", which naturally suggest that ten paintings have been lost. No signed portraits are known from after 1840.
