1856-Dated Pre Civil War, Original Oil Painting of New Jersey Governor Aaron Ogden (1756-1839), by artist David Broderick Walcutt, Gold Gilt Framed, Extremely Fine.
Vivid 30'' x 25'' oil on canvas painting of Aaron Ogden who served both as a Senator and Governor of New Jersey. Signed and dated on the back: “D. B. Walcutt - Painter - 1856.” Walcutt was a New York artist who was born in 1825. Aaron Ogden (1756-1839) was a United States Senator and Governor of New Jersey. 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 Oil Painting is quite attractive. Its colors are quite rich and full of nice contrast. The canvas is hung on wide decorative gold gilt wooden frame bearing an engraved plaque below with Ogden’s birth, death, and years as NJ Governor. Conservation considered as there are two small sealed holes near Ogden’s shoulder, a small 1” tear in the canvas at lower left, as well as several minor prior reinforcements on the blank reverse side canvas, the painting apparently touched up. An impressive Oil Painting of an early historic New Jersey Governor and Statesman.
