John Witherspoon 

Rembrandt Peale's "John Witherspoon" is a portrait of the influential Presbyterian minister and signer of the Declaration of Independence. The painting, done in a realistic style, shows Witherspoon in a somber pose, dressed in his clerical robes and holding a book. Peale, a renowned American portraitist, captures Witherspoon's discerning gaze and dignified presence. The detail in the brushstrokes, particularly in the subject's hand and the book, highlights Peale's meticulous approach. This piece offers a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of prominent figures during the American Revolution.
