Summary

Description

Remnant of a full-length portrait of Daniel Boone painted by Chester Harding. Harding painted the portrait based on sketches made when Boone was 85 years old. Harding was probably the only artist to paint Boone from life; many other depictions of Boone are adapted from Harding's work. Note that the area around the head is a different texture from the shoulders—the original full-length painting was done on ordinary table oilcloth. This aged poorly, and so in 1861 Harding cut out the original head and placed it on a new canvas. This is a black-and-white photograph of a color painting.

Date

1819 (according to the Library of Congress); actual date may be 1820, when Harding visited Boone; modified in 1861
