The Stein Collection reflects a discerning appreciation for early American furniture, Pennsylvania Impressionism, Russian art with American parallels, mochaware, delftware, early pewter and a notable group of portraits attributed to James Sharples Sr. and his daughter Ellen Wallace Sharples—a family of itinerant artists whose work forms an important chapter in late 18th- and early 19th-century Anglo-American portraiture.

James Sharples Sr. (ca. 1751–1811) was an English-born portraitist celebrated for his intimate pastel likenesses of political leaders, intellectuals, and civic figures. After emigrating to the United States in the 1790s, Sharples traveled extensively, creating admired portraits of figures including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Ellen Wallace Sharples (1769–1849), his highly accomplished daughter, produced finely rendered portraits notable for their subtle tonality and quiet psychological depth. Both artists operated portrait galleries in Philadelphia and New York, contributing significantly to America's early artistic identity. Works from this lineage are increasingly prized by collectors for their charm, historic resonance, and scarcity.
