This 1781 engraving by John Norman depicts Major General Nathanael Greene, a key figure in the American Revolutionary War. Greene is shown in an oval portrait, framed by a laurel wreath, and accompanied by a landscape scene. The portrait captures Greene's distinguished appearance and military bearing, while the landscape might represent a battlefield scene, evoking his military achievements. This work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an important visual record of a pivotal figure in American history.
