EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastel on grey paper portrait of Thomas Jefferson, created by the talented artist James Sharples in 1797. The artwork, now housed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, depicts Jefferson as a half-length figure in profile. Thomas Jefferson holds immense significance as one of America's key Founding Fathers and played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's history. He is renowned for his authorship of the Declaration of Independence and served as the third President of the United States from 1801 to 1809. The framed drawing exudes an air of elegance and sophistication with its delicate use of color against the subdued grey background. It is believed that both Sharples and Jefferson were present in Philadelphia during its creation between May and July 1797. This remarkable piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Jefferson's persona, capturing his intelligence, determination, and unwavering commitment to American ideals. As we gaze upon this portrait today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's rich historical heritage. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning print from their collection at Fine Art Finder. It allows us to appreciate not only Sharples' artistic prowess but also provides a tangible connection to one of America's most influential figures - Thomas Jefferson.
