The subject, who graduated from Columbia College in 1811, was the son of Philip Peter and Cornelia (Van Horne) Livingston, and the grandson of Peter Van Brugh Livingston (1710-92). He made a tour of Europe in 1816-19 in the company of Albert Gallatin, and had his portrait painted in Edinburgh by Sir Henry Raeburn, who send the original and a replica to New York immediately afterward. The Society's picture is believed to be the replica.
