Joseph Whiting Stock
1815-1855
Miniature Portrait of a Boy with a Dog
Mixed Media
Joseph Whiting Stock Life: He was born on 30 January 1815 in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1826 an oxcart fell on him paralyzing him from the waist down, and in 1832 on the advice of his physician, he began to study art so that he might make a living. His teacher was Franklin White, a pupil of Chester Harding (1792-1866).
In 1834, when Stock was commissioned by Dr. James Swan to do a series of anatomical drawings, the doctor constructed a wheelchair which enabled the artist to sit up and move about his parents’ home. The chair could be lifted on and off trains, and soon Stock was accepting portrait commissions in neighboring and more distant towns. In 1837 he worked in Stafford, Connecticut, for several weeks. After surviving a life-threatening hip operation in 1839, he went to Warren and Bristol, Rhode Island, in 1842; New Beford, Massachusetts, in 1842-1843; Middletown and Goshen, New York, in 1852-1853; and Port Jervis, New York, his last place of work, in 1854. Between his travels he worked in rented studios in Springfield. It is unusually fortunate that Stock kept a diary of his activities and commissions for fourteen years. This rare documentation not only describes Stock’s career, but provides great insights into the lives nineteenth-century itinerant portrait painters in general.
