Painted by Stuart, a renowned American artist known for his portraits of prominent figures, this work exemplifies his skill in capturing the character and essence of his subjects. Reverend William Ellery Channing (1780–1842) was a leading theologian and preacher, recognized for his role in shaping the Unitarian movement in the United States. His advocacy for social reform and his eloquent sermons made him a significant figure in religious and intellectual circles during the early 19th century.

The composition is straightforward, focusing on Channing's face and upper body, with a neutral background that emphasizes the subject's expression and attire.

This portrait is part of Stuart's broader body of work, which includes depictions of many other prominent figures of the time, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Stuart's portraits are celebrated for their lifelike quality and the artist's ability to capture the spirit of the American identity during a formative period in the nation's history.
