Woodrow Wilson c. 1918

"Woodrow Wilson" is an etching by Ruel P. Tolman, an American artist known for his portraits. Created around 1918, the artwork depicts the 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, in a formal pose, dressed in a suit and tie, his gaze directed towards the viewer. The use of etching, a technique where an acid is used to create lines on a metal plate, gives the portrait a textured quality, enhancing the sense of realism and capturing the subject's distinctive features. This portrait is a significant representation of a historical figure and provides insight into Tolman's artistic style.
