About the piece
Commissioned in 1857, this commanding portrait by George Peter Alexander Healy captures Millard Fillmore with the gravitas of an American statesman. The composition utilizes a classic triangular arrangement, contrasting the president's dark attire against a rich background of deep green drapery and a distant view of the Capitol building, showcasing the artist's signature polished technique.
