"General Samuel Houston" is a portrait painting by the American artist Martin Johnson Heade, created in 1847. Heade, primarily known for his landscapes and still-life paintings, ventured into portraiture with this work, capturing the likeness of one of the most prominent figures in American history, General Sam Houston. Houston was a key leader in the Texas Revolution, serving as the first and third President of the Republic of Texas, and later as a U.S. Senator and the Governor of Texas.

The painting is notable for its detailed and realistic depiction of Houston, reflecting Heade's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. Houston is portrayed in a dignified manner, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt, with a stern yet contemplative expression that suggests his complex personality and the weight of his responsibilities. The background is simple and unobtrusive, ensuring that the focus remains on Houston's commanding presence.

Heade's choice to paint Houston in 1847 is significant, as it was a period of transition and consolidation for Texas, which had been annexed by the United States in 1845. This portrait not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to Houston's enduring legacy in American history. The painting is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be an important piece for both art enthusiasts and historians.

"General Samuel Houston" exemplifies Heade's versatility as an artist and his ability to convey the character and stature of his subjects. It remains a valuable piece of American art, offering insight into the life and times of one of the nation's most influential leaders.
