About the piece
Painted in 1782 by the renowned American artist John Singleton Copley, this formal portrait depicts Henry Laurens in a moment of statesmanship. The work showcases Copley's mastery of light and texture, from the shimmering maroon velvet of the subject's suit to the detailed documents and quill on the ornate, rug-covered desk.
