Signed: B. Blyth del.; Hiller & Blyth, fecit. Three-quarter length portrait of Putnam in military uniform with a sword, & wearing a orange sash slung across his right shoulder running to his left side. He stands with his left hand on his hip, pointing to his right with his right hand and gazing in that direction. Behind him, dark clouds gather. At far left, a large flag flies from a fort atop a hill.
