About Artwork: (ca. 1855) "Winfield Scott (1786–1866) served in the War of 1812 and in the later Indian Wars. He was brevetted major general in 1814 and made general-in-chief of the army in 1841. Scott defeated the Mexicans at Vera Cruz and occupied Mexico City in 1847. In 1852 he was made lieutenant general. As Whig candidate for President that year, he lost the election to Franklin Pierce. Ill health, old age, and divided loyalties forced him to retire from active service at the start of the Civil War. Scott was known for his tact, diplomacy, and fine character. In addition to his abilities as a general, he was a scholar and something of an art collector. He married Maria Mayo of Virginia in 1816 (65.69). The portrait is undated but a replica of this one at West Point, with the same uniform, is dated 1856." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
