    A sepia-toned reproduction of what appears to be a painted portrait of an older male figure in military dress uniform, likely from the late 18th or early 19th century. The subject wears a dark coat with epaulettes and brass buttons, consistent with officer-rank military attire of the Revolutionary or Napoleonic era. The image shows significant aging, surface damage, and deterioration.

    George Rogers Clark, from a portrait painted by John Wesley Jarvis in the collection of Colonel R.T. Durrett of Louisville, Kentucky. As the American Revolutionary War intensified, Clark sought approval of a plan from Virginia’s Governor, Patrick Henry, to capture the British-held settlements of Kaskaskia, Cahokia and Vincennes in the Illinois Territory.
