The Funding Bill

Eastman Johnson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Funding Bill by Eastman Johnson shows two men sitting in chairs. The man on the left has short hair and a beard, wearing a dark-colored suit with a white collar, sitting in a chair with a floral patterned fabric. He looks to his right. The man on the right is balding with a goatee, wearing a dark suit, sitting in a chair with ornate gold details, his right hand raised to his chin. Both men sit on a red carpet, with a dark-colored wall behind them. There is a fireplace mantle behind the men. The room is dimly lit.
