John Quincy Adams Ward 1863

This portrait of John Quincy Adams Ward, a prominent American sculptor, was painted in 1863 by Henry Augustus Loop. The painting depicts Ward in a realistic style, capturing his likeness with great detail, particularly his bushy beard. The artist's signature, "H.A.L", is visible in the lower right corner of the canvas. This oil-on-canvas portrait is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and stands as a testament to the artist's skillful portrayal of a prominent figure in American art history.
