Levi Fletcher 1830

Thomas Sully's 1830 portrait of Levi Fletcher is a classic example of American portraiture from the early 19th century. The painting depicts Fletcher in a formal pose, dressed in a black coat and white cravat, with a serious expression that suggests his intelligence and social standing. Sully's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow create a lifelike and engaging likeness of his subject. This painting is a testament to Sully's talent as a portraitist and his ability to capture the essence of his sitters.
