Elijah Bosley (1740-1841) was a wealthy Maryland planter, who died at the age of 101, and is buried under the chancel archive copy at the Wayback Machine of St. James of My Lady's Manor in Monkton, Maryland. Sarah Peale painted this portrait of him about 1825. The portrait shows the influence of her cousin Rembrandt Peale with whom she studied in 1818, 1820 and again 1822, in the positioning of the figure and particularly in the gently graduated tones of the background.
