About the piece
Painted around 1838 by American artist Rembrandt Peale, this formal portrait depicts Colonel Mendes Cohen with a sense of quiet authority. The work showcases Peale's refined technique, from the subtle tonal shifts in the sitter's skin to the crisp white of the cravat against a deep, atmospheric background.
