Chester Harding
Chester Harding was a self-taught American portrait painter who traveled to St. Louis in 1820 and painted General William Clark from life, producing important likenesses of the expedition co-leader in his later years as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. He was also the only artist known to have painted Daniel Boone from life.
