Tonight I present a portrait of Charles Evans Hughes. Another one of those colorized John Singer Sargent style... Nope! I fooled you. Sargent never did one of Hughes. Phillip de Laszlo did, but not Sargent. Anyways, I thought I would give this a try from a photograph from 1921. Hughes was an interesting fellow, Secretary of State, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and lost the election to Woodrow Wilson. I think he was the last candidate to run for President with a goatee.
