Portrait of Samuel Meeker by Gilbert Stuart

c. 1803, Philadelphia.
This portrait has never left family hands. That it ended up in mine, is something of a miracle!
He has a normal nose. I have noted that an inordinate number of GS sitters had large, mostly ugly noses.

As Ms Evans described, "Hollywood good looks!"
