The undisputed portrait of Samuel Clemens by Francis Davis Millet, canvas measuring approximately 29"(W) x 35 1/2"(H), currently hangs above a fireplace in the Hannibal Free Public Library in Hannibal, Missouri. It was a gift to the Library from Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch in 1911, less than a year after her father died. The minutes of the Library's Board of Directors of February 7, 1911, acknowledge the donation of the portrait. The portrait features a vibrant Sam Clemens looking straight ahead and is signed by Millet and dated in the lower left corner.
