Saratoga — The town of Saratoga will feature a new likeness of Revolutionary War American Gen. Philip Schuyler.
The framed portrait will find a new home in the prestigious Schuyler Room and marks a significant addition to the town of Saratoga’s collection, according to a statement by town historian Sean Kelleher.
The portrait is a digital photo reproduction of a painting from the New-York Historical Society. The painting was done in 1792 by John Trumbull, and it belonged to Schuyler’s daughter, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton. The portrait passed down in her family until it was donated to the NY Historical Society in 1915.
Saratoga Deputy Supervisor Ian Murray received a donation of General Schuyler’s portrait from Deb Peck Kelleher, President of the Old Saratoga Historical Association at Saratoga Town Hall, where the portrait was unveiled.
