Portrait of Benjamin Franklin (1782), by Joseph Wright, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia.![]() In 1782, Benjamin Frankin headed the American commission sent to Paris to negotiate an end to the Revolutionary War. His other commissioners were John Adams, John Jay and Henry Laurens. Richard Oswald headed the British commission. It was a tradition in these negotiations that the chief commissioner on each side would commission a portrait of his counterpart on the other side, to be presented as a gift at the successful conclusion of a treaty. Oswald commissioned the American painter Joseph Wright, a Franklin family friend then living in Paris, to paint the portrait. Franklin was reluctant to set aside the many hours required to sit for a formal portrait, and suggested to Wright that he base his oil portrait on the pastel portrait that Joseph-Siffred Duplessis had made of Franklin in 1778.
