Exhibition of war portraits : signing of the Peace treaty, 1919, and portraits of distinguished leaders of America and of the allied nations painted by eminent American artists for presentation to the National Portrait Gallery
A 1921 catalogue of an exhibition of war portraits, published in New York by the National Art Committee and compiled by Florence N. Levy for the National Portrait Gallery, recording portraits of leaders from America and the allied nations made after the 1919 peace treaty signing. The pictures are halftone reproductions of formal seated and standing portraits in dark, muted tones, with solemn sitters posed beside desks, books, and papers, offering a designer period studio portraiture and restrained dignified composition.
