Natural Portrait
in Marble Column

the ceiling is natural. portrait When
one looks q it closely he is astounded
TO discover that a continuance of the
black vein in the stone forms an aInos,
perfect figure of George washington
standing with his hand on the hilt of
his sword. For years after the CapitoI
was built this strange design remained
unnoticed. and it was not until within
comparatively recent years that it was
discovered and pointed out by the late
Senator George g. Vest of Missouri
Since then 1t has attracted much at
tention.
Although the nation is indeed fortu-
nate TO have such collection, most of
the credit for it must go, not to Con-
Sress. but to individuals who contrib
uted their time and money in an effort
to adorn the walls and ceilings of the
Capitol. The oil painting, "Emancipa-
tion Proclamation. by Frank B. Car
penter, now considered Invaluable as a
NE portrait OF the famous war cabi-
net, went begging for fifteen years,
despite the fact that Carpenter ha d
spent months in the White House work
ing on ii, and President Lincoln in
dorsed the work as true TO life.
When it was turned down by Con-
gress, Carpenter stored the painting in
his fathers house, giving up his art
for some time because of the great dis
appointment. 1t was not until fifteen
years later that Mrs. Elizabeth Carpen-
ter of Hartford. Conn, hearing of the
existence of the painting, purchased 1t
for $4,000 and presented II to the ma
ton 1t is at present hanging at the
staircase landing on the east side of

ART In THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Since the outbreak of the European
war art lovers have turned their at
tention to the works of art in this
country; and among the many wonder
full collections open to them one which
is receiving at this time somewhat
tardy recognition is the galaxy of
paintings and busts in the halls of the
national Capitol
Although this wonderful collection
cannot boast of priceless foreign mas
terpieces. it has many portraits. paint
ings and sculptures that are of great
value from historical, as well as from
an artistic viewpoint.
Entering the rotunda. one comes face
to face with the four famous Trumbull
portraits. depicting the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, the sur
render of Gen. Burgoyne. the surrender
der of CORVALLIS and Washington re-
signing his commission. Two of these
treasures were reproduced by Trum-
bull from sketches made by him on the
scene of the events. They are the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence" and the Surrender of Gen.
cuted by him from descriptions of eve
witnesses.
Congress paid but IS. 900 each for these
ma sterpeces. but today they could not
be purchased for many times that sum-
In each picture the faces of several
score of well known historical charac-
ters are reproduced with exacting touch
and most of them are from life.
