Daniel La Motte 

Thomas Sully, a prominent American portrait painter, created this oil painting of Daniel La Motte. Though the exact date of creation is unknown, Sully's career spanned from 1783 to 1872, which suggests a likely date of creation within this timeframe. The painting's realistic style, characteristic of Sully's work, captures La Motte's likeness with fine detail. The subject's seated pose, formal attire, and the landscape background lend a sense of gentility and sophistication to the portrait. The background, with its muted colors and peaceful landscape, evokes a sense of calm and tranquility, contrasting with the sharp details of La Motte's features.
