** [Most likely the so-called “Lansdowne portrait” of president George Washington, completed by American painter Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) in 1796. A copy used to hang in my parents’ house. I don’t know if it was the same copy.]

*** [“The Old Oaken Bucket” is a sentimental poem written by Samuel Woodworth in 1818, and later set to music. It presents a nostalgic view of childhood on an American farm.]
