Thomas Jefferson portrait by Rembrandt Peale
Rembrandt Peale painted a second portrait of Jefferson in late January 1805. Painted at the White House, the portrait shows President Jefferson as he appeared at the conclusion of a very successful first term in office. At the peak of his popularity and with the knowledge that he had won a landslide victory for reelection, Jefferson posed for this formal portrait in a somewhat unconventional manner with his hair not dressed and covering his red coat with a large, fur-lined cape.
