Caption: Jimmy Carter
Additional Description: This 1982 portrait of Jimmy Carter by Herbert E. Abrams can be found in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC.

“Elected in 1976, Jimmy Carter offered a new face to the White House with his ‘can-do’ attitude and conservative populism. He sat for his White House portrait in 1982 in Plains Georgia, after he left office. This is the preliminary life study.

Carter liked Herbert Abram's treatment of him immensely. The painter apparently agreed, saying later that the White House portrait just ‘fell off the brush. It just flowed — I knew from the beginning it was going to be my best.’ ” — National Portrait Gallery
