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).
