Paul Revere
John Singleton Copley
This is a spectacular portrait, done by one of my favorite artists, and one that I have never seen. So...thanks very much to the Moron who suggested I take a look.
It, and many other Copleys, is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It is apparently, and contrary to all expectations (Boston is filled with Red Sox fans) a fine museum, and one that I look forward to visiting once the Red Sox are bumped down to AAA Baseball and moved to Western Massachusetts.
The description of the portrait on the MFA's web page (click on the photo) is fascinating, and well worth a read.
