Huh.
In the middle painting in Post #45, of Democrats, the artist has the same obscure woman in the background, in the same outfit, striding towards the table as in the Republican painting.
The artist seems to have a limited number of templates.
Don’t get me wrong; I still think the portaits are good.
Good catch! I wonder if she is supposed to be someone of importance. Looks like some background characters are (Van Buren, Adams, Taft, etc)
