About the piece
Painted in 1812 by American artist James Peale, this formal portrait depicts John McAllister, Sr., seated at a table. The work showcases Peale's mastery of light and texture, seen in the soft rendering of the sitter's skin and the crisp white of his linen cravat against a deep, atmospheric background.
