Judge Augustus Pettibone is an original oil painting on board by Charles Sibley (American 1921-2005). This portrait is created in a folk art or primitive style. According to Sibley's obituary, As a child, he was drawn to art, and by age 12, he could recognize artists? works by style. A prodigy, he began studying commercial art at Ohio State University at age 15, graduating four years later. Sibley went on to become a very well known artist in eastern Virginia.

The oil painting is on board and is not signed. The art is 20 x 16 inches and the dark wood frame is 24 x 20 inches. There is considerable crazing, otherwise it is in good condition. Hand written on the back of the art is the following: Judge Augustus Pettibone, 3rd son of Col. Giles Pettibone and Pasiah Humphrey. Feb. 19, 1766 to Oct. 4, 1847 at Norfolk, Conn.
