The Whitman Gallery


1891. Either Thomas Eakins or Samuel Murray, Philadelphia. Not in Saunders. Courtesy Hirshhorn Musuem and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution. The menacing-looking small person to Whitman's left is actually a statuette of Grover Cleveland, one of two figures of the President that Whitman had in his parlor (they appear in a better light in a photo of the parlor in Johnston and J. W. Wallace, Visits to Walt Whitman in 1890-1891, opposite p. 41).
