This photo print, titled "Monsieur de St. George, April 4,1788" captures the essence of elegance and sophistication in 18th-century America. Created by the talented artist William Ward, this portrait showcases a distinguished man known as Monsieur de St. George. Dressed in a stylish attire that reflects his West Indian heritage, Monsieur de St. George exudes an air of confidence and charm. His powdered hair is meticulously styled, adding to his overall regal appearance. Holding a sword with expertise and grace, he embodies both the qualities of a skilled swordsman and a refined musician.
