The portrait of MacArthur was painted by US Army CAPT John Cullen Murphy, who worked with MacArthur's staff during WWII and the occupation. Both portraits originally belonged to Mrs. Richard Sutherland and were recently donated to the MacArthur Memorial by Yale University Library

The MacArthur Memorial recently received portraits of GEN Douglas MacArthur and LTG Richard Sutherland, who served as MacArthur's Chief of Staff. The Sutherland portrait was by Russian-American artist Irving Resnikoff, who went by the pseudonym "Charles J. Fox" or "C.J. Fox."
