This engraving, titled "His Excellency Oliver Wolcott, Governor of the State of Connecticut", was created in 1820 by American artist Asher B. Durand. It depicts Oliver Wolcott, a prominent figure in Connecticut politics, in a formal portrait style. The image showcases Durand's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the intricate rendering of Wolcott's clothing and facial features. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a significant example of early 19th-century American portraiture. The print is based on an original painting by artist William Grant.
