Portrait of Colonel Nicholas Fish (New York City, 1758-1833)
Unsigned.
Charcoal and pencil on paper, old handwritten and typed notes affixed to the reverse, in an eglomise mat and molded giltwood frame, together with an engraving of the subject and accompanied by Nicholas Fish's signed copy of Washington's Farewell Address to the People of the United States, New York, 1809.
Condition: Minor toning, subtle rippling, losses in neck.
