He graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1773, and served in the American Revolutionary War as a lieutenant and later major. After studying law, Ogden was admitted to the bar in 1784 and commenced practice in New Jersey. He served in the Senate (1801-1803) and in the New Jersey General Assembly (1803-1812). Ogden was elected Governor of New Jersey in 1812.

This Painting is quite bold as the colors are still quite rich and full. On the modern decorative gold gilt wooden frame is a engraved plaque with Ogden’s birth, death and years spent as Governor. There are two small pinholes near Ogden’s shoulder as well as three minor reinforcements on the reverse side canvas where the painting was apparently touched up. An impressive Oil Painting of a great New Jersey Governor and Statesman which is ready for display.
