Justices at the National Portrait Gallery
June 19, 2014
Have you been at the National Portrait Gallery recently? On the second floor, we spotted this great portrait of the four past and present female justices of the Supreme Court. It was loaned by Ian and Annette Cumming, who commissioned it from artist Nelson Shanks. Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are seated (more seniority) in front of Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. "The Four Justices" painting is a whopping nine and a half feet tall by almost eight feet wide, with an imposing gold frame. It makes a big impact—as do the justices it depicts.
