Moses Pond 1832

"Moses Pond" is an oil on canvas portrait by American artist George P. A. Healy, painted in 1832. Healy, a prominent portrait painter of the 19th century, captured Pond's likeness with meticulous detail. The portrait depicts Pond seated in a chair, dressed in formal attire, and facing the viewer directly. The dark background and subtle lighting emphasize Pond's features and create a sense of solemnity. This portrait is a fine example of Healy's skill and ability to convey the personality of his subjects, a hallmark of his prolific career. It is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
