"This previously unpublished picture was painted in 1794 by the American artist John Trumbull, and is a fine example of the artists small-scale portraits painted on mahogany panels. Other examples include the portrait of Thomas Jefferson in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The sitter here is William West, the brother of Benjamin West, the American artist who had settled in England at the outbreak of the War of Independence, and who would later become the President of the Royal Academy of Art in London. This portrait is an important addition to Trumbulls oeuvre, having been lost since it was in the ownership of Benjamin West. It was recently sold at auction as by an unknown artist called Humbert, presumably after an erroneous transcription of the contemporary label on the back of the panel".
