	JOHN TRUMBULL - PORTRAIT OF SAMUEL BLODGETT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although Trumbull’s inscription on the reverse of this drawing reads "L. Blodget", the portrait is believed to be of Captain Samuel Blodget, Jr, (1757-1814), an officer of the New Hampshire Militia, who fought at the battle of Princeton.
		Trumbull has painted Blodget full length, but on the same scale as the figures in the history paintings he was producing at this time, rather than on the more conventional life-size portrait format.
		While Trumbull’s contribution to this project may be admired today by every visitor to the Capitol and Blodget’s name is largely forgotten, had the latter’s plans been selected by the Commissioners their names would have been forever united.
