"Colonel Samuel Talcott" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American artist Ralph Earl, painted circa 1785. The painting depicts Samuel Talcott (1739–1798), a prominent lawyer and military figure who served as a colonel in the Connecticut militia during the American Revolutionary War. Earl, known for his realistic and detailed portraiture, captures Talcott in a half-length pose, dressed in a blue coat with gold epaulettes, signifying his military rank.

Ralph Earl was an itinerant painter who became one of the most prolific portraitists in post-revolutionary America. His work is characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the ability to capture the personality and social status of his sitters. "Colonel Samuel Talcott" is a prime example of Earl's style and skill, showcasing his ability to convey both the individual character of the sitter and the broader cultural context of the new American republic.

The portrait not only serves as a historical record of an individual who played a role in the formation of the United States but also reflects the artistic and cultural trends of the late 18th century. As with many of Earl's portraits, the painting provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the time, as well as the values and aspirations of the American gentry in the post-Revolutionary period.

"Colonel Samuel Talcott" is part of a larger body of work by Ralph Earl that documents the faces of early America. The painting is significant for its art historical value, its representation of American Revolutionary history, and its portrayal of the emerging American identity. It remains an important piece in the study of American portraiture and the oeuvre of Ralph Earl.
