English: Rutherford B. Hayes
Artist Eliphalet Frazer Andrews, 11 Jun 1835 - 19 Mar 1915 Sitter Rutherford Birchard Hayes, 4 Oct 1822 - 17 Jan 1893 Date 1881 Type Painting Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions Stretcher: 77.2 × 64.1 × 2.2cm (30 3/8 × 25 1/4 × 7/8") Frame: 99.7 x 87.6 x 12.7cm (39 1/4 x 34 1/2 x 5") Credit Line Current Owner: National Gallery of Art Website: www.nga.gov Current Owner: Corcoran Gallery of Art Website: www.corcoran.org Object number L/NPG.1.92 Exhibition Label Republican presidential hopeful Rutherford B. Hayes went to bed on election night of 1876 thinking that he had lost the contest. But charges of ballot-tampering led to prolonged investigations of the vote count in several states. Out of this inquiry, itself marked by backstairs chicanery, Hayes finally emerged triumphant by a single electoral vote. All of the irregularities surrounding his election led some to view Hayes as "His Fraudulency." But questions about his legitimate right to office did not prevent this former Ohio governor from being an effective chief executive. He was responsible for ending the harsh policies that had been imposed on the South since the Civil War, and he instituted the first significant steps toward curbing rampant corruption in the civil service. Hayes's portraitist, Eliphalet Andrews, was the founding director of Washington, D.C.'s Corcoran School of Art.
