The Concerned Members OPPOSE this bill.
The referenced painting is an image of an event, not of a person. The event dipicted is the passage of migrants from Virginia
into the District of Kentucky.
The painting is not a portrait of any individual personage, but rather includes several indistinguishable people.
The image does not depict the face of Daniel Boone in sufficient detail as to be recognizable as Daniel Boone.
An official portrait of Daniel Boone should be an image of the single individual Daniel Boone, as is commonly recognized
in portrait painting as well as in the expectation of the public's mind. The official portrait of George Washington is not
the portrait of George Washington Crossing the Delaware.
