Wilma, the painting is "The Signing of the Constitution" by Howard Chandler Christy 1940.

Thank  you, Diane.  We could tell it was something like that but we didn't know for sure.

Pam, you need your stetson to protect your neck.   and Flo I never did answer your earlier question. According to old dated ledgers and notes that were kept, delegates came and went quite often. They signed papers when they were in town and often had to go back home for instruction, or wait for couriers to bring information. Even the paintings don't show everyone who took part at some point. For the most part, these men also had businesses and farms to run, so many were not in Philly all the time,
