[0:04] Thomas Keaton's portrait of President Eisenhower.
[0:18] Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
[0:22] I think the Wilson portrait is very interesting if you compare it to one
[0:32] This was painted in 1913.
[0:33] Wilson first became president, of course, in this portrait.
[0:37] He was young and vigorous, and we see the portrait was painted six years later in 1919, when he still was in orbit.
[0:46] It was not sent.
[0:48] It was painted in Paris when President Wilson was 16 years, he's age 25.
[0:54] He's an old man.
[0:55] And of course, the reason the portrait was never completed was that it would take
[1:01] 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.
[1:12] That is the incredible comparison.
[1:28] Thank you.
