Oil on canvas. American, early 19th century.
Sitter Bio: "He trained as a surgeon and during the American Revolution served at the Battles of Princeton and Brandywine. While attending the wounded in 1777, he was captured by the British and placed under house arrest. In 1799, he sold 20-acres in Harlem Heights to Alexander Hamilton on which he would build Hamilton Grange.
