About the piece
This refined oil portrait by American artist James Frothingham captures Samuel Barber Clark around 1810. The work is characterized by the high-contrast drama of the subject's dark coat against a prominent white ruffled collar, rendered with delicate, translucent brushwork typical of the Federal period.
