Morning, Erastus Dow Palmer , c. 1850,Cleveland Museum of Art: American Painting and Sculpture

Early in his career, Palmer made cameo portraits–gems or shells carved in low relief. The delicate carving of his marble representations of Morning and Evening can probably be attributed to his early experience with cameos.
