Unfinished Portrait

The Unfinished Portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt refers to a portrait being drawn of him at the time of his death. Elizabeth Shoumatoff had begun working on the portrait of the president around noon on April 12, 1945. FDR was being served lunch when he stated "I have a terrible headache" and then became unable to breathe. Later that day the 32nd President of the United States passed away, and Elizabeth Shoumatoff never did finish her portrait of the fascinating man leaving the world with the mysterious and quite eerie Unfinished Portrait.

The portrait hangs at Roosevelt's former health and relaxation retreat in Warm Springs, Georgia, known as the Little White House.
