This portrait print showcases Horatio Gates, a prominent figure from the late 18th century. Created by renowned artist Gilbert Stuart around 1793-94, this oil painting captures the essence of Gates' character and achievements.

As a general and soldier during the American Revolutionary War, he played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of the United States of America. His strategic brilliance on the battlefield earned him widespread recognition. In this artwork, Stuart masterfully portrays Gates' determined gaze as he holds a letter in his hand—a symbol of communication and leadership. The vibrant colors used by Stuart bring life to every brushstroke, enhancing both the realism and artistic appeal of this piece.
