About the piece
Painted in 1792 by the noted American artist Ralph Earl, this striking portrait depicts Captain John Pratt in his military uniform. The composition elegantly balances the formal authority of the sitter with a detailed landscape background and the inclusion of his dog, making it a quintessential example of late 18th-century American portraiture.
