The painter is John Trumbull titled **The Declaration of Independence**, 4 July 1776. Trumbull was so intent on producing an actual pictorial of the birthing moment of the nation that he sought out 36 of the 47 original congressional members and painted them from life. Jefferson helped with the Philadelphia room. This is a Trumbull collection Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut.
