Portrait of jonathan dayton (1760-1824), american politician
jonathan dayton’s portrait by henry harrison is based on a profile drawing of the speaker, also in the house collection.

The harrison portrait shows a rather more polished individual than the original drawing, but retains the profile format, unusual among the speaker portraits. Date: 1911. Dimensions: height: 74.3 cm (29.2 in); width: 62.2 cm (24.4 in). Medium: oil. Collection: Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives.
