Thomas McKean (1734-1817) was a prominent political figure, serving as a delegate to the Continental Congress, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and later as the Governor of Pennsylvania. Peale, an accomplished American artist known for his portraits of Revolutionary War figures, painted McKean during a period when he was actively involved in the political landscape of the newly formed United States.
