Face-to-Face Portrait Talk on Martha Washington March 19, 2009

Senior historian Sidney Hart speaks about the portrait of Martha Washington by Gilbert Stuart.

Each week, a staff member of the National Portrait Gallery or a special guest speaker brings visitors face-to-face with a portrait by offering an insight into one person. Visitors meet the presenter in the F Street lobby and then walk to the appropriate gallery. The March Face-to-Face talks feature "Ladies, First at the Portrait Gallery."
