About the piece
Painted around 1810 by American artist Ezra Ames, this portrait of John Scoville exemplifies the formal elegance of the early 19th century. The subject is depicted with a steady, thoughtful expression, his figure emerging from a moody, dark background that draws the eye toward the crisp white textures of his high-collared shirt and ruffled cravat.
