Gorgeous original color portrait of Roosevelt looking quite distinguished, oil on canvas, 13.5 x 18.25, signed as president in the lower border in black ink, “Franklin D. Roosevelt, Oct. 12, 1936.” Also signed at the bottom of the image in paint by the artist, “Walter L. White, 1933.” Double-matted to an overall size of 18.75 x 23.75. In fine condition, with a small hole to the right side of the canvas near his ear, hardly affecting the superb overall appearance of the piece. A fantastic, one-of-a-kind piece from Roosevelt’s first term, signed shortly before his victory in the 1936 presidential election held on November 3, in which he garnered 98% of the electoral vote. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
