Chambers worked primarily in New York, Boston, and later Albany. Chambers’ work is distinguished by its fanciful manner, use of bold colors and shadowing effects. The construction of the stretchers and the stingy application of the canvas to the stretchers also serve as his signatures. This virtually untouched example exemplifies all of these characteristics.
