Thomas Keaton's portrait of President Eisenhower.
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
I think the Wilson portrait is very interesting if you compare it to one
This was painted in 1913.
Wilson first became president, of course, in this portrait.
He was young and vigorous, and we see the portrait was painted six years later in 1919, when he still was in orbit.
It was not sent.
It was painted in Paris when President Wilson was 16 years, he's age 25.
He's an old man.
And of course, the reason the portrait was never completed was that it would take
self-esteem failure, return to the standard, and campaigned around the country, trying to get along, supporting the lead, and the rest of the struggle.
That is the incredible comparison.
Thank you.
