Captain Graham 1805

"Captain Graham" is a miniature portrait created by Andrew Robertson in 1805. Robertson, a prominent Scottish-born miniaturist, captured the likeness of the captain in a delicate and intimate style. The portrait, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, depicts Graham in a formal pose, his face turned slightly toward the viewer, wearing a dark coat and a crisp white collar. This miniature, typical of Robertson's work, exemplifies the refinement and detail of 19th-century portraiture, highlighting the importance of personal commemoration in the era.
