Jackie at JFK's Inauguration
The fourth installment in my "Jackie" series, in which Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis travels the world through her famous sunglasses. This portrait shows Jackie witnessing JFK's presidential inauguration on January 20, 1961. Although it was the first inauguration broadcast in color, most Americans watched in black-and-white. Her lenses are in the shape of a 1960s CRT television. The light blue background symbolizes the common misconception that Jackie's coat and pillbox hat were that color, though archival video footage proves they were actually tan.
The original 48"x32" acrylic portrait on canvas features high gloss sunglass lenses over a satin varnish.
Note: Gallery-wrapped canvas is only available in 16x24, 20x30, and 24x36. The spot varnish is only on the original painting and not the prints.
Original painting SOLD to a private collector.
Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat, black moulding, and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is necessary.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Production Time & Shipping
All orders are printed on demand and shipped directly to the customer. It takes approximately 7 days to produce a print, let it dry completely, and package it securely so it arrives in one piece.
FedEx ground shipping takes approximately 3-7 days, therefore we estimate your order will arrive 14 days after placing it*. There is an option to expedite shipping with USPS Priority Mail, which can take up to 3 days. You will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking number once your order is en route.
*Shipping time is an estimate and unexpected delays can occur due to weather, national holidays, and global pandemics, to name a few.
Please notify us if your order is damaged upon arrival so we can file a claim with the carrier and produce a replacement for you.
