From Wikipedia, the free

Gilbert Charles Stuart
(born Stewart; December 3, 1755 – July 9, 1828) was an American
painter from
Rhode Island.
Gilbert Stuart is widely considered to be one of
America's foremost
portraitists.[2]
His best known work, the unfinished portrait of
George Washington that is sometimes referred to as The
Athenaeum, was begun in 1796 and never finished; Stuart retained
the portrait and used it to paint 130 copies which he sold for $100
each. The image of George Washington featured in the painting has
appeared on the
United States one-dollar bill for over a century,[2]
and on various U.S. Postage stamps of the 19th century and early 20th
century.[3]

Portrait of
Lord Holland by François-Xavier Fabre, painted in 1795
François-Xavier Fabre (1 April 1766 – 16
March 1837) was a
French
painter of historical subjects.
Born in
Montpellier, Fabre was a pupil of
Jacques-Louis David, and made his name by winning the
Prix de Rome in 1787. During the
French Revolution, he went to live in
Florence, becoming a member of the Florentine Academy and a
teacher of art. The friends he made in Italy included the dramatist,
Vittorio Alfieri, whose widow,
Princess Louise of Stolberg-Gedern, Countess of Albany, he is said
to have married. On Louise's death in 1824, he inherited her fortune,
which he used to found an art school in his home town. On his own
death, he bequeathed his own art collection to the town, forming the
basis of the
Musée Fabre.

Jean-Auguste-Dominique
Ingres (French: [ʒɑnoɡyst
dominik ɛ̃ɡʁ]; 29 August 1780 – 14 January 1867) was a
French
Neoclassical
painter. Although he considered himself to be a
painter of history in the tradition of
Nicolas Poussin and
Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was Ingres's
portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his
greatest legacy.
