Jimmy Carter
This oil on canvas painting of Jimmy Carter was completed by renowned American portraitist Herbert Abrams in 1982 after Carter's presidency. The painting became Carter's official presidential portrait. This portrait was hung on a wall in the State Floor of the White House on March 17, 1983. Former President Carter requested that there be no ceremony. Carter served as governor of Georgia prior to his term as president, which began on January 20, 1977 and ended January 20, 1981.
