About the piece
Painted by Chester Harding around 1828, this portrait depicts Bushrod Washington with striking psychological depth. The sitter's pale features and sharp gaze are illuminated against a dark, moody background, emphasizing the formal presence of his dark robes and the fine brushwork characteristic of the period.
