About the piece
Painted in 1832 by Samuel Lovett Waldo and William Jewett, this formal portrait captures a man of refinement. The striking contrast between his crisp white waistcoat and the rich, dark tones of his coat and the background creates a sophisticated presence typical of American Romantic-era portraiture.
