Recto: "When the war was over, and our brave defenders had returned to their homes, there was a general reunion of friends and relatives to honor the return of peace with feast and song beneath the shades of a loyal homestead of Eastern Pennsylvania. The bride is welcomed in the family at the old homestead, the loyalty to liberty of whose Friendly proprietors many a sable-faced fugitive has witnessed.
The widowed mother in a secluded corner mourns her loss, meditating on the pictured expression of her partner who returns not with the rest, while the little pledge of their love essays to comfort and console.
The table is being spread for the feast in front of the old substantial stone mansion whose walls are half covered with clinging ivy, and a path regularly paved with slabs of stone leads up through the yard to a quaint old portico covering the door.
Standing by the pump with modest expression, the damsel espies in the young cavalryman, (just arrived) the long absent lover, who is being welcomed by members of the family (along with the colored standard-bearer) to the feast.
Grouped around the table to the centre are the political disputants, and the difference that excites the spirit and animus between the soldier and his antagonist is the negro.
Beneath the arbor the mother receives her wounded son; "the long-look'd-for" has come at last.
The whole is a scene representing such people as an intelligent republican community would have, with doors thrown liberally open, gates swung back, a sociability that sinks all personal hostility, no passive indifferences to the duties of the hour, but recognized responsibility; not all mourning for individual loss, nor exultant in victory, but exhibiting an intelligent submission to the philosophy of events.
Around the officer in the foreground, are grouped his listening family and friends, whose attentive faces bear his welcome as he relates his experience and incidents of war, while the children around, catching up the spirit if the scene, are mimicking battle with their fathers' cast-off swords and guns, or watching the amusing pranks of the playful kittens, protected from intrusion by their indignant mother.

Scope and Contents note

This grand depiction of George Washington may not show the General on a specific occasion, but, rather, evokes the national icon that had taken shape during the 1790s, when Washington was president and Philadelphia was the capital. The General who looks out at us from this painting has the same features as the most famous Washington of all, Gilbert Stuart's "Athenaeum" life portrait (1796), which is also the inspiration for the portrait on our one dollar bill.

John Neagle

Henry Clay, 1843
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated at lower left: "Jno. Neagle Pinxit 1843"
Gift of Henry Pratt McKean.
Condition: Good, 1843.

Scope and Contents note

On the left side (the viewer's left) of this portrait, Neagle has painted symbols of American prosperity that Clay's "American System" of tariffs was designed to protect from foreign competition: in the background a sailing vessel can be seen beyond farmland with cows grazing; and, in the foreground, a plow, an anvil, and a shuttle represent farming, manufacturing, and the textile industry. Artists use such objects, often called attributes, to represent the subject's interests or accomplishments. John Neagle was one of Philadelphia's most important portraitists; he and Thomas Sully, who painted the League's famous equestrian portrait of Washington, both worked in an English-influenced Romantic style.
