Painting Description
"Portrait of Colonel David Perry, 9th U.S. Cavalry" is a notable painting by the American artist Robert Henri, a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American realism. Created in 1909, this work is a striking representation of Colonel David Perry, who was a member of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, one of the original six regiments of the regular U.S. Army set aside for African American enlisted men by Congress in the act of July 28, 1866, reorganizing the army for peacetime after the American Civil War.
The painting is significant for its subject matter, as it depicts an African American military officer at a time when such representations were rare and serves as a testament to the contributions of African American soldiers in the post-Civil War era. Henri's portrait of Colonel Perry is rendered with the bold brushwork and vibrant palette characteristic of his style, capturing not only the physical likeness but also the dignity and poise of the sitter.
Robert Henri, who was an influential teacher and advocate for modernism in American art, often chose subjects from everyday life and marginalized communities, seeking to portray the human spirit and character in his works. "Portrait of Colonel David Perry, 9th U.S. Cavalry" exemplifies Henri's commitment to portraying real people with honesty and directness, devoid of the idealization common in the portraiture of the period.
The painting is part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to be an important piece for its artistic merit and as a historical document reflecting the diversity of American society and the complexities of race and representation in the early 20th century.
