This is a black-and-white drawing of twelve men’s faces arranged in three rows. They all wear formal suits and ties, some with beards, some clean-shaven. The lines are sharp, showing wrinkles and serious expressions. The center faces are larger, while the ones on the edges are smaller. The title says these are the last group from Georgia in the U.S. Congress at that time. Their faces look determined, like they’re ready for debate. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
