Description: Oil on wood portraits of Presidents George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe by Gilbert Stuart, circa 1817 to 1821. Stuart painted the five presidents as part of a set commissioned by Colonel George Gibbs of Rhode Island. These were some of the last paintings in Stuart's career. Much later, the Gibbs family sold the set to Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, an ancestor of President Calvin Coolidge. The Coolidge family sold the five portraits (known as the Gibbs-Coolidge Collection) to the National Gallery of Art in April 1979.
