"...never did finish..."[edit]

This phrasing makes it sound as though there were many opportunities in which she could, or should have finished it. But wasn't the case rather that she never intended to finish it? In which case, "...never finished..." would be more accurate. --J o h n O You found the secret writing! 13:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation Page?[edit]

"Unfinished Portrait" apparently needs a disambiguation page, as it does not necessarily refer to the unfinished portrait of FDR. I was stunned to read about it being "the" unfinished portrait while reading the FDR article. In fact, I had been told the Washington Unfinished Portrait was "the" unfinished portrait. Apparently, both assertions are incorrect. An internet search reveals a slew of "unfinished portrait" contexts, including an Agatha Christie book, which pre-dates FDR's unfinished portrait. msc 206.124.31.221 02:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finished Portrait[edit]

Is there a picture available of the FDR portrait Shoumatoff actually finished (the one with the blue tie)? That would fit nicely into this little article. 178.82.252.252 (talk) 11:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
