Description of the work:

"Zedekiah Sanger (1749-1820)" by Edward E. Simmons is a portrait that captures the subject in a three-quarter pose, characterized by a somber color palette and a detailed rendering of facial features that convey a sense of dignity and introspection. The composition is enhanced by the use of light and shadow, which accentuates the textures of the clothing and the sitter's expression, creating a sense of depth and realism typical of Simmons' portraiture.
