Judicial & Government Portraits

Fine art judicial and government portraits honor judges, elected officials, and public servants.

A judicial or civic portrait is a document of office as much as of person — painted to hang in chambers and halls of state for generations.

The Service observes the conventions proper to official portraiture.
