Alexander Hamilton is a 1901 by Max Rosenthal, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with short, curly hair. He is wearing a white shirt with a high collar and is facing to the left. The background is dark, and there is an oval border around the man's head and shoulders. The man's face is serious, and he is looking straight ahead. He has a strong jawline and a small nose. His eyes are cast downward slightly, giving him a thoughtful expression. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the portrait. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
