Original painting of James Monroe by Lawrence Williams, oil on canvas, 15.5 x 19.5, showing the president in a classic stately pose. Elaborately cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 23.5 x 28, with a name plaque affixed below the painting. In fine condition. Williams was famous for his paintings of prominent figures, especially presidents and first ladies; a collection of thirty-eight presidential portraits he accomplished in honor of the American Bicentennial is now on display in the ‘Gallery of Presidents’ inside the Colorado State Capitol building.
