| Description |
View showing visitors of all ages in the Assembly Room being used as an exhibit gallery. Men, women, and children promenade,
converse, and admire the artifacts that adorn the room with a parquet floor. Framed artwork, predominately from the Charles
Wilson Peale portrait collection in addition to Henry Inman’s portrait painting of William Penn, and Thomas Sully’s portrait
painting of Lafayette, line the paneled walls. Under a chandelier, in the rear center of the room stands William Rush’s wood
statue of George Washington (carved 1815, installed 1824). To the right, a stuffed bald eagle sits atop the Liberty Bell (installed
1852). The bell is displayed on a pedestal adorned with fasces, a banner, and shield and stands near the "Rising Sun" chair,
one of a number of chairs lining the room, which was used by George Washington as he presided over the Constitutional Convention.
The gallery also includes a writing desk associated by legend with the Declaration of Independence and the framed Thomas Sully
painting of the coat of arms of Philadelphia.
