"William Wirt" is a notable portrait created by the American engraver and artist James Barton Longacre. Longacre, who was born in 1794 and became the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, is renowned for his detailed and expressive engravings, particularly those of prominent American figures. This particular work captures William Wirt, an influential American lawyer and author who served as the United States Attorney General from 1817 to 1829 under Presidents James Monroe and John Quincy Adams.

The portrait of William Wirt by Longacre is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation of its subject. Wirt, known for his eloquence and legal acumen, is depicted with a dignified and composed demeanor, reflecting his stature and contributions to American jurisprudence. Longacre's skillful use of shading and line work brings out the textures of Wirt's clothing and the subtle expressions on his face, making the portrait not just a visual representation but a study in character and personality.

Longacre's engraving of Wirt is part of a broader body of work that includes portraits of other significant figures of the time, contributing to the visual documentation of American history. His engravings were widely circulated and appreciated in the 19th century, often used in books, periodicals, and official documents. The portrait of William Wirt stands as a testament to Longacre's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the early legal history of the United States.

The portrait remains an important artifact, reflecting the intersection of art and history, and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
