Chest-up, slightly left facing CDV of Presidential Candidate Ulysses S. Grant, very boldly signed. Backmark, Henry Ulke, 278 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, 1868.

And in a another neat association, one of Ulke's best paintings is the Official White House portrait of President U.S. Grant done on March 2, 1875.
