Description
English: Official portrait of Thomas Chittenden, leader and founder of the Vermont Republic and later the first Governor of the State of Vermont. No contemporary likeness of his image is known to exist; this portrait may have been drawn sometime after 1847 by Vermont artist B.F. Mason, who was hired by the state to copy an image of Chittenden as well as Ethan Allen, in the event such an "authentic likeness" could be obtained.[1] In the portrait's source material, credit is given to his 2nd-great-grandson the Hon. Lucius E. Chittenden of New York City, and one David Read of Burlington, VT.[2] There are a number of rumors as to the origins of the portrait, with some stating the image was made from descriptions of Chittenden's children, whereas others believe one of Chittenden's grandsons served as its model.[3][4]
