The painting was delivered by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, who described it to podcast host Tucker Carlson as a “beautiful portrait” by a “leading Russian artist.”

Tramp, he noted, was "clearly touched."

But the portrait itself was not presented publicly.

The painting, presented to the head of the White House, depicts the 47th president of the United States. He stands on stage with a raised fist after a failed assassination attempt. Trump was shot at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024. The author of the portrait is Nikas Safronov, one of Russia's most famous artists.

"It was important to me to show the blood, the scar, and his bravery during the attempt on his life. He didn't break down or get scared, but he raised his hand to show that he is one with America and will give it back what it deserves," the artist said.

Safronov is no stranger to portraits of world leaders. He has painted dozens of world figures, including the late Pope Francis, Indian President Narendra Modi and North Korea's Kim Jong-un.

According to the author of the painting, “some people came to him and said that they wanted me to draw Trump “as I see it.” He noted that he initially did not know who his “guests” were.

The artist explained that he had "clients who don't go into details." He suspected that these people were from the Kremlin.

"When I started the portrait, I realized that it could bring our countries closer together. I decided not to take money because I suspected what this painting was for," Safronov explained.

Later, he said, Putin himself contacted him. The Russian president told him that the Trump portrait was an important step in improving Russia's relations with the United States.

The dramatic image of Trump raising his right fist, his face splattered with blood, became a symbol of his presidential campaign.
