Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)Thirty-fourth President (1953-1961)
Sculptor Nison Tregor began the clay study for this portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower at his studio in Paris. In the spring of 1957, he refined his model in the course of two sittings with his subject at the White House, and from it produced several variants in bronze.
This is believed to be Eisenhower's only sculpted likeness made during his presidency.
