John Grimes 1821 - 1824

This oil on canvas portrait of John Grimes was created by Matthew Harris Jouett between 1821 and 1824. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and depicts Grimes in a three-quarter length pose, with his head turned to the viewer's left. The portrait is considered to be a fine example of Jouett's work, and is known for its realism and attention to detail. The artist skillfully captures Grimes' likeness, showcasing his strong features and the elegant style of dress popular during the period. The painting is a testament to Jouett's skill as a portrait artist and a window into the life of a prominent individual from the early 19th century.
