Thomas Seir Cummings

Thomas Seir Cummings

Thomas Seir Cummings (1804-94) was an American miniature painter and author, born at Bath, England. He came to New York early in life and studied there with Henry Inman. He painted miniatures in water color, and many of his sitters were well-known contemporaries of the artist. In 1826 he helped to found the National Academy of Design, was its treasurer for many years and one of its early vice presidents. He also wrote an account of its history, entitled "Historic Annals of the National Academy from its Foundation to 1865" (Philadelphia, 1865). His later life was spent in Connecticut, and Hackensack, N. J., where he died.
