National Portrait Gallery welcomes TV’s President Underwood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – President Francis J. Underwood is sitting pretty at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington.
A painting of the fictional U.S. chief executive, as portrayed by Kevin Spacey in Netflix’s political drama “House of Cards,” was to be unveiled Monday night.
The portrait is a joint project between British artist Jonathan Yeo and the Smithsonian museum, Netflix said. It will be on public display from Wednesday through October.
A Yeo portrait depicting Spacey as Shakespeare’s Richard III was part of a retrospective of the artist’s work at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
In a move that the savvy Underwood would appreciate, the Washington unveiling was timed to the series’ fourth-season debut on March 4.
