General Weedon 1791

John Trumbull, a prominent American artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, created this pencil sketch of General Weedon in 1791. The drawing, executed in a realistic style, captures Weedon’s likeness with a focus on his features and the details of his military uniform. The inscription "Gen Weedon Alexandria June 91" indicates the subject and location of the sketch, offering a glimpse into the artist’s working process and the historical context of the piece. Trumbull's works are known for their contributions to the documentation of American history, particularly the Revolutionary War.
