This miniature by Charles Willson Peale seems to be the earliest likeness of Hamilton. He wears across his chest the green sash that identifies an aide-de-camp, and on his shoulder the epaulettes of a lieutenant colonel. His hair is cut surprisingly short for the eighteenth century but it is powdered. Courtesy, Nathaniel Burt. Photograph, Frick Art Reference Library
