Hi SeVera,
Our conservator had a chance to look at the paintings and we have two that are available- see the attached list. If Mr. Pruitt is interested in borrowing either painting, please let me know and we can schedule a site visit to check the environment and security. Does Mr. Pruitt's office have 24/7 security?
Let me know if you want to proceed with a loan. Beth

Hi SeVera,
I have been looking through our collection data base and we do not have many to choose from since most of them are already on the walls here at the gallery. We do not have a Hamilton, Madison or Theodore Roosevelt available to lend.
I found three paintings that are a possibility - James Monroe, John Adams, John Marshall - but the conservator has to examine them first because they have been in storage. That will probably take a week or two. If Mr. Pruitt is not interested in any of these paintings, let me know.
Beth

Dear Ms. Wilson:
Thank you for the follow-up information about Mr. Pruitt's interest in paintings for his office suite at the EPA. We will see if there are any portraits available in storage for the individuals you have listed below, though as you can image, they are our top individual for being on view.
The National Portrait Gallery loan policy for high ranking government officials stipulates that portraits could be lent for installation in the administrator's personal office or immediate reception area only and that the facility must meet minimum museum requirements for stable environmental conditions (temperature, humidity and light levels) as well as the security status (24/7 physical on-site and/or electronic surveillance), etc. Let us first determine if we have any portraits available, then we can go from there to obtain facility information. I've copied Beth Isaacson, Exhibitions Assistant in my department, as she will research potential loans and if we have anything available in storage, she'll provide a list of those options for Mr. Pruitt's review and pursue the facility information at that time.
On a related item, the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) does not collection landscape paintings. I believe you mentioned that you have been referred to me by Jenni Lee at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM). I'm copying her on that request in case SAAM might have any American landscape paintings available for loan to Mr. Pruitt's office.
Thank you for your interest in the Smithsonian collections. All best.
