Notes |
White House copy of the 1826 painting Notes by Kloss, William, et al. Art in the White House: A Nation's Pride . Washington, D.C.: The White House Historical Association, 2008: "On Monday, November 27, 1826, Audubon recorded in his journal that he had to 'stand up' for a portrait, wearing his wolf-skin coat at [William H.] Lizars' request. ...On November 30 the portrait was finished. ...Although Audubon questioned the resemblance, it is only in a slight emphasis of the length of the head over its breadth that the artist deviated from his model. This is borne out by comparison with Audubon's Self-Portrait (private collection) made two months earlier. As for his 'enraged Eagle' eyes, they were commented upon by others. Together with his beaklike nose and flowing hair, they made and indelible impression upon all who met the artist-naturalist...." |
