The circular Panel Representing Summer in the Thomas Jefferson Building

The circular panels above the doorways by Frank Weston Benson (1862-1951) represent Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The names and quotes in the Great Hall were chosen by Librarian of Congress Ainsworth Rand Spofford (1825-1908) and Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926), president of Harvard University. This painting represents summer.
