A framed painting by Gilbert Stuart entitled "Thomas Jefferson".

Gilbert Charles Stuart (born Stewart) (December 3, 1755 to July 9, 1828) is widely considered to be one of America's foremost portraitists. Throughout his career, Gilbert Stuart produced portraits of over 1,000 people, including the first six Presidents of the United States. His work can be found today at art museums across the United States and the United Kingdom, most notably the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Frick Collection in New York City, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
