Richard Yarosh, Burned U.S. Solider, Has Portrait Hung in Smithsonian
Retired Army Sgt. Richard Yarosh was a U.S. solider serving Iraq when a roadside bomb expoded, dousing him in flaming fuel and severly burning much of his body. Now a portrait of Yarosh will hang in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington later this month.
The portrait of serviceman Richard Yarosh.
The portrait was painted by Matthew Mitchell, and uses techniques traditionally reserved for nobility, a high-ranking military officers, and heads of state. However, in this case it's a low-ranking non-commissioned officer as the subject.
The portrait is just one out of a series of a planned 100 painted by Mitchell of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He has completed 30 of the paintings so far.
