After graduating from King's College (now Columbia University), he became a lawyer. In 1777, he became the first attorney general of the state of New York, an office he held until 1787. He was also a member of the first state legislature. He served in the Continental Congress for several terms. He was a judge of the State Supreme Court from 1794 to 1801 and in the latter year was appointed judge of the United States Circuit Court. From 1789 to 1802, he was a regent of the University of New York. He was also a founder and the first president of the New-York Historical Society. Gilbert Stuart painted two portraits of Benson, one in 1794 (John Jay Homestead State Historical Site, Katonah, New York) and the other in 1805 (New-York Historical Society). Vanderlyn copied the earlier likeness, apparently around 1794, shortly after its execution.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/13045\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Egbert Benson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Vanderlyn \u0026 Gilbert Stuart","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887883264243,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (29 3\/4\" x 23 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887883297011,"sku":null,"price":1279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20\" x 16\")","offer_id":49887883329779,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/2\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887883362547,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30\" x 24\")","offer_id":49887883395315,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 5\/8\" x 31\")","offer_id":49887883428083,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/8\" x 37 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887883460851,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 5\/8\" x 43 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887883493619,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 5\/8\" x 52 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887883526387,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/EgbertBenson.jpg?v=1788816833","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/egbert-benson","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
