About the piece
This 1812 portrait by the acclaimed American artist Thomas Sully depicts Daniel La Motte with a sense of quiet dignity. The subject is dressed in formal Regency-era attire, featuring a voluminous white cravat and waistcoat that contrast strikingly against a dark overcoat and a romanticized sunset landscape visible in the background.
