About the piece
This 1901 oil painting by Adolfo Müller-Ury captures a formal full-length view of President William McKinley. The composition uses a dramatic contrast between the subject's bright white vest and the deep, atmospheric shadows of the background, lending the piece a refined and commanding presence.
