Summary

Description
English: Painted during Burr's vice presidency. "By this time, Burr was aware of how Thomas Jefferson had effectively shut him out of the inner workings of both his administration, and the Democratic-Republican party. The political influence that Burr had so carefully gathered over the years was fading fast, and there would be no support for another chance at the presidency. Due to a series of disastrous financial decisions and misadventures, he was also deep in debt and perilously close to bankruptcy. Little wonder, then, that his famously expressive gaze here appears introverted and reflective, and perhaps even a little pensive."
