    Not a great example. The artist is Gilbert Stuart, and he was very highly paid. He unfortunately was awful with finances and left his family in debt, but everything I’ve seen indicates this was not due to lack of business or payment, but rather his spending habits.

    He may not be well known today, but was certainly known in his time.
