EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable oil on canvas portrait of Patrick Henry, created by the talented artist Asahel L. Powers between 1820 and 1830. The painting measures approximately 85.4x60.325 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA. In this stunning artwork, Patrick Henry is depicted seated gracefully in a Windsor chair, holding a book in his left hand. He exudes an air of wisdom and authority as he gazes confidently into the distance. Dressed in a black coat adorned with brass buttons, an olive green waistcoat, and a white stock-glasses resting on his forehead, Henry's attire reflects both elegance and sophistication. The focal point of this portrait lies within its decorative legend framing Henry's head: "LIBERTY OR DEATH". These powerful words encapsulate the essence of Patrick Henry's revolutionary spirit and unwavering commitment to freedom during America's tumultuous times. Through this masterful portrayal, Asahel L. Powers captures not only the physical likeness but also the indomitable spirit that made Patrick Henry one of America's most influential figures.
