Saint-Mémin produced these portraits of the emerging politician DeWitt Clinton and his wife while the artist was living in New York, having fled France during the Revolution. In 1796-97 he was working closely with Thomas Bluget De Valdenuit to learn the art of portrait making. The drawings likely commemorate DeWitt Clinton's marriage to Maria Franklin in 1796.
