William James Hubard. Silhouette of unknown US Army staff officer, c. 1827. Watercolor with gilt highlights on paper, 10 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches, under original glazing and in original carved, wood frame. This full-figure profile portrait is nearly identical to another by Hubard of Lieutenant Washington Hood (private collection) done in c. 1828 and it is likely that this officer and Hood may have visited Hubard's Baltimore studio at the same time. Hood was then stationed in Washington DC on detached service to the Topographic Bureau pf the War Department. CONDITION: very good, with light toning to the paper. Edge wear to frame.
