Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States

''Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States'' is a famous oil-on-canvas painting by Howard Chandler Christy, depicting the Constitutional Convention signing the U.S. Constitution at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. Along with ''Washington Crossing the Delaware'' by Emanuel Leutze, the painting is one of the most famous depictions of the early days of the United States. Christy created the painting in April 1940; it is so large that he painted it in a sail loft. It currently is displayed along the east stairway in the House of Representatives wing in the Capitol building.
==Description==
Only 40 of the 55 delegates are pictured in the painting; not included are the three delegates who did not sign the Constitution or the 13 delegates who left the convention. On the right side of the painting, on the dais, is George Washington, president of the Convention, standing upright and looking out over the delegates. The Constitution is on a desk before him, which also features the Syng inkstand, and Richard Spaight of North Carolina is signing the document. The windows are open and an aura of light surrounds Washington's upper body. Behind him is a display of American flags and a drum. Behind him are James Wilson of Pennsylvania and Richard Bassett of Delaware, talking with each other. Behind them on the far right is another Delaware delegate, George Read; below them is another Pennsylvania delegate, Robert Morris. Slightly to the right of Washington is the standing Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer from Maryland. William Jackson, the Convention's secretary, is unusually prominent in the painting, directly in the center, standing, in red, apparently counting their votes and acknowledging their wish to sign the Constitution. At his left elbow, James Madison observes the proceedings. Between Jackson's right hand and head is William Paterson. Seated in the center is the eighty-one-year-old Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton leaning toward him. Standing directly behind Hamilton is Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania. The South Carolina delegation is depicted in the left corner of the painting. Seated in the left of the painting is the twenty-six-year-old Jonathan Dayton, with Rufus King on his left and Nathaniel Gorham on his right. They are easily distinguished by their multi-colored silk coats.
