Portrait of William Harris Crawford, 1818
Oil on canvas

Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Granger Hansell, 60.49

A prominent citizen of Lexington, Georgia,

while he was Secretary of the Treasury under
President James Madison. Peale had intended
to display the painting in a national portrait
gallery in Washington, but Congress failed to
fund the project.
