Sarah Goodridge was a miniature portrait painter, who studied with noted American painter Gilbert Stuart. In 1825, he commissioned a portrait from her.[2] This miniature is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[3] The portrait bust faces obliquely left. It was described by family as "the most lifelike of anything ever painted of him in this country".[2]

Goodridge made copies of the work, which are now in the Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Fine Arts,[2] and National Portrait Gallery. The Metropolitan Museum version was collected by Moses Lazarus.[4]
