General Andrew Jackson

Samuel Lovett Waldo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man with short, light-colored hair. He wears a dark-colored military-style jacket with gold epaulets on the shoulders and a high, folded collar. A white shirt is visible under the collar. The background is dark and mottled in shades of brown and green. The subject, General Andrew Jackson, looks directly ahead with a neutral expression. The artist's style is realistic.
