Engraving of James Madison by Thomas B. Welch (1814-1874) from a drawing by James B. Longacre (1794-1869). Prints and Photographs Divison, Library of Congress. Longacre went to Montpelier in July, 1833, to paint this portrait for Longacre's and James Herring's National Portrait Gallery. Madison was reluctant to sit for the portrait, but urged by Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Trist, Madison finally agreed. It is the last life portrait of James Madison known to have survived. Thomas B. Welch was a student of Longacre's who became an engraver and portrait painter in Philadelphia.
