Lithograph of a Bust-length Portrait of Thomas Jefferson, 1826 This 1826 lithograph presents a formal, bust-length portrait of Thomas Jefferson, captured in a three-quarter view facing right. Executed with a soft, stippled technique characteristic of early 19th-century printmaking, the image emphasizes the sitter’s thoughtful expression and distinctive features, including his high forehead and wavy hair. Jefferson is depicted in period-appropriate attire, wearing a dark, high-collared coat over a white cravat. The print is highly detailed, featuring the artist’s signature and date, "Mauzaisse 1826," in the lower right, alongside the publisher's mark, "Lith de C. Motte," on the left. Centered beneath the portrait is the subject’s name, "JEFFERSON," rendered in a simple serif font. The overall composition, with its gentle tonal transitions and vignette style, reflects the neoclassical aesthetic of the era in which it was produced. Sheet: 11 x 17 inches $100-140
