About the piece
Painted in 1806, this portrait by renowned American master Rembrandt Peale captures Edward Shippen Burd of Philadelphia with striking character and clarity. The work demonstrates Peale's sophisticated handling of light and texture, from the crisp folds of the white linen cravat to the soft, luminous rendering of the sitter's features against a rich, moody background.
