Although he created more than two thousand portraits and subject paintings  his full production has never before been examined in depth. The child of actors  Sullys lifelong connection to the theater informed his imagination. His portraits of 19th-century actors  celebrities  royalty  and politicians established his reputation  and would mark all his works  particularly his fancy pictures  portraits evoking scenes from literature  fairy tales  Shakespeare  or of his own devising.
