"Portrait of Samuel Nelson (1829)" is a notable work by the American artist Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791–1872), who is perhaps better known for his role in the development of the telegraph and Morse code. Before his technological achievements, Morse was an accomplished painter and a central figure in the American art scene of the early 19th century. The portrait in question depicts Samuel Nelson, who was a prominent figure in his own right, later serving as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1845 to 1872.

Painted in 1829, the portrait is an example of Morse's early work and reflects the neoclassical style that was prevalent at the time. Morse's training in Europe, particularly his study of the works of the Old Masters, is evident in his technique and the composition of the portrait. The artwork captures Nelson in a dignified pose, typical of the portraiture of the era, which sought to convey the social status and character of the sitter.

The "Portrait of Samuel Nelson" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the cultural and political milieu of the United States in the early 19th century. The painting is part of the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., which houses an extensive array of portraits of prominent Americans.

As an example of Morse's portraiture, the painting contributes to the understanding of his artistic legacy, which is often overshadowed by his later scientific and technological contributions. The "Portrait of Samuel Nelson" remains a testament to Morse's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of American leadership during a formative period in the nation's history.
