Durand portrays a leading figure from Maryland who supported independence from Britain during the colonial period, served as a delegate to the Continental Congress, and then as a U.S. senator. The only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, he was the longest-lived, dying in 1832 at the age of ninety-five. This is one of nineteen prints Durand engraved for Herring and Longacre's "National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans," published in 1835.
