The Art History Mystery Challenge No. 35 Gilbert Stuart - John Adams

Welcome to our totally disorganized art museum! The challenge is to help us identify all the masterworks in our virtual museum. We'll post a piece of the painting and one clue to get you started. Can you name the artist and the title of the painting?

Pieces of the painting and clues to the artist's identity will be added every 24 hours until we have a winner, then the next painting in our collection will be posted. Feel free to use any resources at your disposal to help in your search. Challenge winners will receive a shiny award badge that we will add below their profile image. You will retain this award until someone else wins the award.

The AHM Challenge is open to all forum members, not just ws oil painters, so join in and have some fun with us!

If you would like to host a AHM Challenge painting; please send a PM to the Challenge Moderator Callie to receive instructions and notice when to post your painting. Be prepared to check in frequently while hosting a challenge!

Wow Callie! I think you broke the speed record. Good going!

Good going Callie. This is the firsst time I'm looking at the challenge and you've all ready figured it out. Not bad. Judy

I was missing that medal!
I thought this one might have been holiday related - it looked like an official portrait, so I started with Gilbert Stuart portraits and there was Adams (who died on July 4th, 1826).

Congrats Callie on getting the man eating a lemon (at least it looks like he did)

pretty smart. I never would have thought of that.

He does look a little jaundiced.
