[4] On September 27, 2004, the painting was unveiled in the Rayburn Room inside the United States Capitol.

It is displayed in the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Women’s Reading Room, adjacent to the National Statuary Hall.

[5][6] Bittinger included a small replica of the Car of History clock in the portrait, which has been present in the old House Chamber since 1819, to show Boggs' love of history.
