Robert StreetAmerican, 1796 - 1865
Robert Street's portrait shows William H. Klapp as a distinguished student. The items in the painting's lower right corner display his well-rounded education: a globe representing geography, a marble bust and brushes with a palette illustrating the visual arts, and geometric ciphers and dividers symbolizing mathematics. Klapp's education would serve him well during his distinguished career as a physician.
