About the piece
Created by Washington Bogart Cooper after 1866, this oil on canvas portrait depicts Andrew Johnson with a somber, statesmanlike gravity. The artist utilizes a dramatic play of light and shadow, typical of mid-19th-century American portraiture, to give the subject a grounded and authoritative presence.
