About the piece
Painted in 1778 by the renowned American artist John Trumbull, this portrait of Major Roger Alden captures the sitter in a moment of quiet strength. The work features a striking contrast between the deep, dark background and the vibrant details of the blue uniform, crisp white cravat, and bold red sash, characteristic of late 18th-century military portraiture.
