In 1824, Peale painted a portrait of Washington through an stone oval window; this window is decorated with a garland of oak leaves, and it is surmounted by the ''Phydian head of Jupiter'' and engraved with the legend ''Patriæ Pater''. It was purchased by Congress in 1832 and still hangs in the US Capitol. The portrait became known as his "Porthole" picture. Peale also painted the portraits of [[Thomas Jefferson]] (1805), [[John C. Calhoun]], William Henry Harrison and Chief Justice John Marshall. He completed over 600 paintings.
