George Musgrave Giger 1859

"George Musgrave Giger" is an oil on canvas portrait painted in 1859 by the American artist Thomas Sully. Sully, known for his refined portraiture, captured Giger’s likeness with careful detail and a sense of realism. Giger is depicted in formal attire, seated and looking directly at the viewer with an air of confidence. This work, which was painted during Sully’s later career, exemplifies his mastery of capturing the sitter's individuality and conveying a sense of presence.
