This miniature portrait is a copy of the 1825 portrait of Andrew Jackson painted by the Kentucky artist Aaron H. Corwine. Corwine painted Jackson in March of 1825 while he and his wife, Rachel, were visiting in Cincinnati, OH following his unsuccessful Presidential bid against John Quincy Adams. Jackson and Corwine chose to emphasize Jackson's ties to the western frontier by depicting him in a heavy overcoat with fur collar.

Old split to panel and affixed to a later board; re-touch to hair and blue background; expected wear and rubbing to edges of panel. This lot contains animal or plant material that may be restricted under federal, state, and/or local law. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale.
