GIBSON V. CRANAGE
39 Mich. 49 (1878)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Gibson (P) appealed a decision in favor of Cranage (D) regarding P's
claim for the contract price for the making and execution of a portrait of D's deceased
daughter.
FACTS: P solicited D to make a large portrait of D's deceased daughter. P told D that if
it was not perfectly satisfactory to him in every particular, he need not take it or pay for
it. P showed the finished work to D and D refused to accept it. P endeavored to ascertain
what the objections were and P then sent the picture away to the artist to have it changed.
D sent a letter reciting the original agreement, stating that the picture shown him the
previous day was not satisfactory and that he declined to take it or any other similar
picture, and countermanded the order. D refused to look at the picture again. P sued D in
assumpsit for payment on the contract. D got the judgment and P appealed.
