BENJAMIN FRANKLIN by Joseph Siffred Duplessis Canvas Print

Founding Father of the United States Benjamin Franklin Portrait by: Joseph-Siffred Duplessis Jacques-Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont a French admirer, commissioned Joseph Siffred Duplessis to paint a portrait of Franklin, which shows him in a red coat with a fur collar (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art). Young Pierre Samuel du Pont commented on seeing it that Franklin's "large forehead suggests strength of mind and his robust neck the firmness of his character. Evenness of temper is in his eyes and on his lips the smile of an unshakeable serenity." The Gallery's painting is a version of Duplessis's initial portrait, with a different coat. Its early owner was Mme. Brillon de Jouy, Franklin's neighbour in Passy; their flirtatious relationship continued through Franklin's years in France.
