About the piece
Painted in 1865 by Ole Peter Hansen Balling, this authoritative portrait captures General Ulysses S. Grant at the height of his military career. Grant is depicted in his Union uniform, leaning against a rugged terrain with a cigar in hand, while strategic maps and binoculars in the foreground underscore his role as a commander during the American Civil War.
