Question 1

Love the painting of the signers of the constitution my question is do you have a diagram that would show who each person is?i see washington and fran

Accepted Answer

On the right side of the painting, on the dais, George Washington, president of the convention, stands upright and looks out over the delegates. The Constitution and the Syng inkstand are on a desk before him, and Richard Spaight of North Carolina is signing the document. The windows are open and an aura of light surrounds Washington's upper body. Behind him are displayed American flags and a drum. Also behind him James Wilson of Pennsylvania and Richard Bassett of Delaware are talking. Behind them on the far right is Delaware delegate George Read; below them is Pennsylvania delegate Robert Morris, and standing slightly to the right of Washington is Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer from Maryland.

William Jackson, the convention's secretary, is prominently placed directly in the center. Standing, in red, and holding up four fingers, he apparently is counting the votes. At his left elbow, James Madison observes the proceedings. Between Jackson's right hand and head is William Paterson. Benjamin Franklin is seated in the center, and Alexander Hamilton leans toward him. Standing directly behind Hamilton is Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania. The South Carolina delegation is depicted in the painting's left corner. Also seated on the left, distinguished by their multi-colored silk coats, are Jonathan Dayton, Rufus King (on Dayton's left) and Nathaniel Gorham.———Wikipedia
