Updated with new pics: SJ Stucky Portrait Unveiled Today

11/19/2021

 
"A Hanging at CAAF
           
An art symposium was held at 450 E. Street, N.W., this afternoon, as Judge Scott Stucky regaled his assembled well-wishers with the story of what he called “one of the greatest fiascoes in the history of official portraiture”: Graham Sutherland’s 1954 painting of Sir Winston Churchill.  SPOILER ALERT:  the tale ends with the portrait, which Churchill considered a monstrosity, being driven to a secluded area, where it was hacked to pieces and—just to be careful—burned.  Happily, Judge Stucky pronounced himself well-pleased with his official portrait that was unveiled during the ceremony, so there is no need to fire up the wood chipper.  In Judge Stucky’s portrait, his hand rests on Winthrop’s treatise, which sits atop the Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation. 

The event closed with Judge Stucky ceremonially passing the Court’s gavel to Chief Judge Ohlson.  Judge Stucky was a larger-than-life presence on the bench.  For those of us who follow the military justice system’s appellate courts, he is already missed."

One sees Dwight with a DSLR camera (which took the photo of the portrait), but the prior photos were taken with a new iPhone and almost seem clearer. A testament to iPhone photo tech!
