About the piece
Painted in 1819 by Charles Willson Peale, this remarkable portrait depicts Yarrow Mamout, a formerly enslaved man and prominent member of the Georgetown community. Peale's masterful use of light and texture emphasizes the subject's wise and gentle expression, making it a profound example of American portraiture from the early Republic.
