Henry La Tourette de Groot 1825 - 1830

"Henry La Tourette de Groot" is an oil on canvas portrait by American artist Samuel Lovett Waldo, created between 1825 and 1830. The painting, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts de Groot in a formal pose, holding a document in his hands. The painting's realistic style reflects Waldo's mastery of portraiture, capturing the subject's likeness with great detail. The subdued colors and soft lighting create a sense of dignity and refinement, characteristic of the Neoclassical style popular in the early 19th century.
