EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Henry Laurens, a prominent American businessman and politician in the 18th century. Created by Valentine Green, a British artist known for his mezzotint technique, this artwork beautifully captures Laurens' dignified presence. In this image, Laurens is depicted seated at a writing desk adorned with luxurious soft furnishings. Dressed in elegant attire including breeches and velvet suit, he exudes an air of sophistication befitting his status as a successful merchant and planter. The attention to detail is remarkable; every crease on his clothing and stocking has been meticulously etched by Green's skilled hand. The document papers scattered across the table hint at Laurens' involvement in political affairs during a crucial time in America's history. With John Singleton Copley as its inspiration, this portrait not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also provides valuable insight into the life of an influential figure from the past. As we gaze upon Laurens' composed expression and contemplate the weight of responsibility that rested upon his shoulders, we are transported back to a pivotal era when politics intertwined with trade in shaping the destiny of our nation. Displayed proudly within the National Gallery of Art Washington, this print stands as a testament to both Valentine Green's artistic prowess and Henry Laurens' enduring legacy.
