Solomon Nunes Carvalho (27. dubna 1815 Charleston – 27. května 1897) byl americký malíř, fotograf, spisovatel a vynálezce.[1] Je známý jako průzkumník, který procestoval území Kansasu, Colorada a Utahu s Johnem C. Frémontem při jeho páté expedici. Mnoho slavných obrazů Starého Západu je založeno na fotografiích, které pořídil, ačkoli mnoho dalších bylo ztraceno nebo smícháno s těmi, které pořídili Mathew Brady a další jeho současníci.[2]

View of a Cheyenne village at Big Timbers, by Solomon Nunes Carvalho.jpg
View of a Cheyenne village at Big Timbers, in present-day Colorado, with four large tipis standing at the edge of a wooded area. Frame with pemmican or hides hanging at the right; two figures, facing camera, standing to the left of center. Identified as a daguerreotype by Solomon Carvalho of a Plains Indian village in Kansas Territory taken during the Frïemont Expedition in 1853, probably copied by the Mathew Brady studio. This identification was based on the fact that the daguerreotype was acquired by the Library with other daguerreotypes from the Brady studio and that Brady was hired by Frïemont to copy Carvalho's daguerreotypes on wet plate negatives.

Solomon Nunes Carvalho, artist, daguerreotypist and portrait painter, was a native of Charleston, South Carolina. He later resided variously in Barbados, Philadelphia, Baltimore and finally New York. Carvalho helped establish a Sephardic congregation, Beit Israel, in Baltimore.
This is a portrait of his wife Sarah Miriam Solis (1824-1894). The pair were married in 1845 by the groom's friend, Reverend Isaac Leeser (1806-1868), hazzan of Congregation K.K. Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia. Sarah Carvalho was founder and President of the Baltimore Hebrew Sunday School Association.
Carvalho's sources for the composition (the rich drapery swag to the sitter's left, and the non-specific view through the window to her right) and tonality of this portrait lie ultimately in eighteenth century European painting, filtered through such American painters as Gilbert Stuart and Thomas Sully, with a touch of Victorian sentimentality. It is interesting to note that Carvalho's experience with photographic portraits did not influence this portrait of his wife.
