Rembrandt Peale (1778 – 1860)
Discover Rembrandt Peale, the iconic American portraitist known for his stunning likenesses of Washington & Jefferson. Explore his neoclassical style and museum legacy.
This portrait is generally considered to be by Rembrandt, and is somewhat less uniformly thought to date from the 1650s. Both questions are made more difficult by the condition of the picture: the hands, the body, and the hat are badly abraded. The face is fairly well preserved.
