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.

Born in 1924 in Maryland USA. This artist was self - taught, but after intensive study of the great master techniques and methods, has interpreted them into a very personal and unique style. Bensons subtle blend of colors, lightening and attention to detail, adds to the mood and character of the subject.
