Portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, c. 1880

A full-length portrait of a bearded man with graying hair in a dark overcoat and white collar, one hand resting on his chest, standing before a dense woodland backdrop. The loose, painterly brushwork of this oil on canvas gives the foliage and coat a soft, atmospheric finish.
