EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastel on grey paper portrait of General Alexander Hamilton, one of the esteemed Founding Fathers of the United States. Created by James Sharples, this framed color drawing beautifully captures Hamilton's half-length profile. General Alexander Hamilton was not only a prominent statesman but also held the prestigious position of Commander-in-Chief of the army in 1799. Tragically, his life was cut short when he was mortally wounded in a duel with Aaron Burr on July 11,1804. The following day, Hamilton succumbed to his injuries. The emotional impact and deep sorrow caused by Hamilton's untimely demise is evident in Ellen Sharples' diary entry from August 1804. She wrote about being greatly affected upon hearing about "the melancholy death" of General Hamilton and observed how sincerely and deservedly beloved he was among Americans. This historical artwork provides us with an intimate glimpse into the life and legacy of General Alexander Hamilton—a man who played a significant role in shaping American history. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded not only of his contributions as a founding father but also the profound loss felt by an entire nation at his passing.
