The Visionary

The Visionary (or The Entrepreneur) is a 1989 painting of then-businessman Donald Trump by Ralph Wolfe Cowan.

Cowan had previously visited the property during its years under the ownership of Marjorie Merriweather Post.

[1] The painting has been described as depicting "a young, tanned and handsome Donald Trump dressed in a white tennis sweater".

[1] In a profile of Cowan for Oxford American, Nicole Pasulka wrote that Cowan's subjects are often depicted "twenty pounds thinner and twenty years younger, often surrounded by heavenly light, riding exotic animals, or framed by mountain ranges", and that Trump's portrait had a "standard Cowan sky shot".

Bowden likened the portrait to a "Sun God", feeling that it portrayed a "wide-shouldered, thin-hipped Donald, his youthful face eclipsing the sun itself, his skin glowing like the top floors of Trump Tower at sunset, the color of warm bullion.

[1] Trump's hand in the portrait was intentionally left unfinished at the time of its completion.
