Depicted is a half-length, right-facing (to the viewer), portrait of Col. John Covert of Cobourg, U.C. (ca. 1770-1843), in civilian dress, which may possibly be the work of the Canadian artist Paul Kane (1810-1871). This work has been tentatively dated to the period 1834-1836, when the artist was known to have been actively working on portrait commissions in the Cobourg area. The execution of this work is stylistically identical to that of the oil portrait of Col. the Hon. Henry Ruttan in the portrait collection of the National Archives, which has been attributed by one Canadian historian and one Royal Ontario Museum curator/ethnologist to Paul Kane
