Humboldt's Silhouette in Monticello (Charlottesville, Virginia)

Monticello is the estate in which Thomas Jefferson spent most time of his retirement. It's located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The South Square Room of his residence shows a number of silhouettes, one of them showing Alexander von Humboldt. There is also one of Aimé Bonpland albeit located in a different room.
