About the Item

Portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969) French artist, indistinctly signed signed and dated 1951 oil on canvas, unframed canvas : 26 x 21.5 inches Provenance: private collection, Nice, South of France Condition: overall sound & good condition with some areas of retouching and uneven surface. This striking oil painting of Dwight D. Eisenhower, executed in 1951 is a very rare and period portrait of the famous American leader, painted the year he became Supreme Commander of NATO. The portrait captures Eisenhower in his U.S. Army uniform, complete with military insignia and ribbons, against a subtle, textured background that alludes to his leadership during World War II. The detail and precision in this work reflect the artist's admiration for the subject, offering a compelling depiction of one of the 20th century's most iconic figures. About the Sitter: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969) was a five-star general in the United States Army and the Supreme Allied Commander during World War II. His leadership during pivotal moments, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, earned him worldwide recognition. By 1951, the year this painting was completed, Eisenhower was serving as the first Supreme Commander of NATO. Just two years later, he would begin his tenure as the 34th President of the United States, leading the country through a period of peace and prosperity during the Cold War era. Highlights: Medium: Oil on canvas. Date: Signed and dated 1951. Historical Significance: Captures Eisenhower during a critical phase of his military career, shortly before he entered the political arena. Condition: Well-preserved, with vibrant colors and minimal signs of aging. This portrait is a timeless piece of history, perfect for collectors of military memorabilia, political artifacts, or fine art.
