Charles Carroll of Carrollton 1835

This engraving, "Charles Carroll of Carrollton," was created in 1835 by Asher Brown Durand, a leading figure in the Hudson River School movement. The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of the influential American statesman Charles Carroll of Carrollton, known for his role in the American Revolution and as a signatory of the Declaration of Independence. Durand's engraving captures Carroll's dignified presence and the detail of his clothing, with the use of subtle shading and lines. This print is an excellent example of American portraiture in the 19th century.
