The Norwegian artist Ole Peter Hansen Balling painted this image of Grant and His Generals in Autumn 1864 as the Civil War moved into its final stages.

This is the smaller version of the painting as the final version ended up being almost life-sized.

The painting was used to raise funds to provide aid to sick and wounded soldiers.

To obtain likenesses of the twenty-seven figures in the picture, Balling traveled to Union army encampments.

Both paintings reside at the Smithsonian and are on display in the National Portrait Gallery.

Ole Peter Hansen Balling

Ole Peter Hansen Balling (1823–1906) was a Norwegian painter renowned for his masterful portraits of military leaders, statesmen, and royalty across Europe and the Americas. Born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, Balling trained under Norwegian artist Ferdinand Jonas Gjøs and Danish decorative painter Jacob Emilius Wunderlich. He furthered his studies at the Academy of Arts in Berlin and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and in 1854, he studied with Thomas Couture in Paris. His early career was marked by participation in the First Schleswig-Holstein War as a Danish officer, an experience that influenced his later military-themed artworks.
In 1856, Balling emigrated to the United States, where he lived until 1874. During the American Civil War, he served as a lieutenant colonel in the 145th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment. His artistic talents flourished as he painted portraits of prominent Union generals, including Ulysses S. Grant, Philip Sheridan, John Sedgwick, and James S. Wadsworth. He also captured the likenesses of significant American figures such as abolitionist John Brown and Presidents Chester A. Arthur and James A. Garfield. His works from this period are notable for their historical significance and are featured in institutions like the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
After returning to Norway in 1874, Balling established a workshop in Horten, where he painted portraits of Norwegian naval officers and members of the Royal Bernadotte family, including Kings Charles XIV John, Oscar I, Charles XV, and Oscar II of Sweden. Between 1881 and 1890, he lived and worked in Mexico City, later serving as the Mexican consul in Kristiania. Balling's legacy endures through his contributions to portraiture, with works housed in esteemed collections such as the West Point Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, and the National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design in Oslo.
