Disclaimer: We try the best we can to describe our art products in as much detail as possible and to display them visually. However, the pigments of the printing material and the print result can differ slightly from the representation on your screen. Depending on the settings of your screen and the condition of the surface, color pigments might not be printed 100% realistically. Since all our fine art prints are processed and printed by hand, there might as well be slight differences in the motif's size and exact position.

Description from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

In 1881, bankers and businessmen were profoundly alarmed by a bill in Congress about the refunding of the national debt. The man at the left on the sofa is Robert W. Rutherford, a relative by marriage of the painter, and the attentive listener beside him is the artist, Samuel W. Rowse. When these responsible citizens were discussing the bill in Johnson's own parlor, he saw in their appearance and attitudes the subject for a picture and made a study before doing this large, finished work. Portraiture is combined with genre, because both men are unposed and their intellectual exchange is really the theme of the work. Eastman Johnson consistently chose truly native American subjects, and his portraits reveal personality with unusual forthrightness and absence of drama.
