"Colonel James Gordon" is an 18th-century portrait painting by John Hesselius, an American portraitist active in the mid-Atlantic colonies. The painting is a significant work of colonial American art, depicting Colonel James Gordon, a prominent figure of the time. Hesselius, born in 1728 to Swedish immigrant parents, was one of the pioneering portrait painters in America and is known for his realistic portrayal of his subjects.

The portrait of Colonel James Gordon is an exemplar of Hesselius's mature style, characterized by a refined use of color and attention to detail, which captures both the physical likeness and the social stature of the sitter. Gordon, dressed in the attire of a colonial gentleman, is depicted with a poised and dignified bearing, reflecting his status and the formality typical of portraiture during the period.

John Hesselius's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, and his portraits are considered important for understanding the cultural and historical context of the American colonies prior to the Revolutionary War. The painting of Colonel James Gordon not only serves as a valuable piece of visual history but also as a testament to the skill and artistry of Hesselius as a portrait painter. The artwork is a part of the collection of the Virginia Historical Society, providing insight into the identity and legacy of colonial American figures through the lens of fine art.
